LABRIE, James, Canadian historian, born in Canada in 1783; died there, 26 October, 1831. He studied at the College of Quebec, and afterward was graduated in medicine in Edinburgh. He was one of the first to give a stimulus to education in Canada, founding model schools on a large scale, and academies for both sexes. He became editor of the " Courrier de Quebec" in 1807. He took an active part in Canadian polities, and separated from Louis Papineau on the question of subsidies. He was the author of "Premiers rudiments de la constitution Britannique," translated from the English of Brooks, with an historical analysis, and observations on the constitution of Lower Canada (1827), and also the first history of Canada that had appeared since that of Charlevoix, but his death prevented its publication. Shortly afterward the legislature appropriated £500 for the purpose of publishing this work in four volumes, but the manuscript was destroyed in the burning of St. Benoit in 1837. Some fragments survived, which were published in the "Bibliotheque Canadienne."
