After graduation, he went in 1877 to Laval University, Quebec, and studied law. In 1881 he was called to the Lower Canadian bar. While in Laval he wrote numerous poems, which were published in British and Canadian periodicals. Among his principal poems afterward were a " Lament for Longfellow" and "Indian Translations." Between 1879 and 1883 he published a series of essays on monuments, coins, art, and many other subjects.
