Excerpt from The Canadian Album, Vol. 1: Men of Canada, or Success by Example in Religion, Patriotism, Business, Law, Medicine, Education and Agriculture This work proposes to answer these questions brie y, but accurately, in sober prose, and in cold type, like any other condensed biography. But it does not end here by any means. It brings to its aid the poetry of the artist, with the skill of the engraver, thus transferring the very image of the man to the printed page, so that he may, as it were, speak for himself and answer all our queries.

Excerpt from The Canadian Album: Men of Canada Hon. Louis Franҫois Geo. Baby, D. C. L., and L. L. D., was born in Montreal, August 26th, 1832. His father, a notary and lieutenant-colonel in the Canadian Militia, was the son of the Hon. Franҫois Baby, adjutant-general of Lower Canada and a member of the Executive and Legislative councils respectively. After a brilliant course of studies, begun with the Sulpicians, and terminated at Joliette College, Judge Baby studied law with Hons. L. T. Drummond and T. J. J. Loranger. He was admitted to the Bar in 1857, and entered into partnership with the former. Having to retire to the country, on account of ill health, he selected Joliette, Que., where he soon found himself at the head of a large clientelle. For many years, he took part in the municipal affairs, and occupied the position of mayor. In 1872, he ran for the House of Commons, but was defeated by a small majority. The following General Elections, he was elected by acclamation, and held the seat for Joliette until October 1880, when he was elevated to the Bench. His commission was that of a Judge of the Superior Court, but subsequently of the Court of Appeals, in which he still presides. He was Minister of Inland Revenue from 1878-80. Judge Baby has devoted much time to the study of Canadian Archeology and Numismatics, and as such is widely known. For years, he has been president of the Montreal Numismatic and Antiquarian Society, and vice-president of the Historical Society. He was married, July 22nd, 1873, to Helene Adelaide, daughter of Dr. Barthelet, a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre. In 1888, he was charged with a most important mission to the Holy See, respecting the distribution of the monies granted for the Jesuits' estates, and his services where recognized by His Holiness, conferring upon him the decoration of Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St. Gregory the Great. Among the eminent men of Canada, Judge Baby occupies a most enviable position. In 1874, he was created Q.C.
