In order to enable the visitor to see as much as possible of the old world city of Quebec during his stay, we give in the following pages a description of a few drives, which will include the objects of greatest interest, and in doing so it will be necessary to leave out many which, with an extended sojourn, no tourist should omit. There is not on this continent a city whose natural beauties and historical reminiscences are so great; in fact the difficulty with the writer is to rtirain from mentioning all that must necessa- rily be attractive. The city is unique, a walled . fortress of unrivalled strength and of magnificent situation. From the height of Cape Diamond the view of the St. Lawrence is a superb panorama, a view of mountain, river and yalley, unequalled in the world, In passing through thf? quaint and narrow streets one feels that he is treading on a strange and weird world, wholly at variance with the rest of our continent. It is a city in which romance mingles with history and the age of chivalry will draw its memories to the times we live in with a charm that is bewildering and fascinating. Every where there are battlements, fortresses, castles, convents, monasteries and towering walls and the imagination rushes from the enchainment of practical existence to revel in the sbro>yded past. ^0 A^^'il^/^ -^mbt- 27f?ueBuade,. .^ ^> y^yp' t: 4 \ THE FIRST DRIVE. The First Drive which the stranger should take will be a visit to the Ursuline Convent, which was founded by Madame de la Peitrie in 1641. The convent was twice destroyed by tiie, once in 1650 and again in 1686, after which it was again erected, but many additions have since been made and the present buildings are very extensive, and the pupils number 300. The Ursuline Nuns are cloistered and are cele- brated for their piety and attainments. The Chapel of St. Ursula is connected with the c invent, and in it are many valuable paintings, among which are the following : Over the front door. Jesus, sitting down at meat in Simon's house, Mary Magdalene ,,.,Ph. de Champagne, Death of St. Jerome. Epistle side* Bishop St. Nonus, admitting to penance St. Pelagia. J. Proudhomme^ 1737.

The skuli of one of the companions of St. TJrsuIa, in 1675, The skull of St. Justus, in 1662. A parcel of the Holy Cross, in 1'667. A parcel of the Crown of thorns, brought from Paris, in 1830. Opposite th« Chapel of St. Ursula is the site of the dwelling occupied by Madame de ia Peltrie, the foundress. Descending Garden street is the English Ca thedral, erected in 1804 on the site of the Church of the Recollots. It is built in Roman style of archi- tecture and is filled with mural monumentE, one of which is erected to the Duke of Richmond, a former Governor of Canada, whose remains lie near tlie pulpit and who~died in Upper Canada 20th August, 1819. Another monument is erected to Generai Monckton, who fought under Wolfe at the capture of Quebec m 1759, and who died on 10th May in 1830. The tattered colors of the 69 th Regiment are placed in the church. The Basilica Minor, thereto raised by Pio Nono in 1874, was consecrated in 1666 by Monseigneur de Laval, an eminent divine, who became first bishop of the colony and who was founder of the Seminary tSchool, which has added to itself a U'liver&ity, beat*- tog the name of tho founder. '~%'^: THE laUST URlVIi. \ ■':'-:• r. Among the Paintings in the Basilica are the fol- lowing : The Conception, after Le^»run, by an unknown Artist. St. Paul, by Carlo Maratti. Christ, Attended by Angels. Thto Flight ot Mary and Joseph, a oiyvyhy T. Ilamci. Christ, by Van Dyck. Nativity of Christ, Copy of Guido. Christ iSubmitting to the Sohiiers, by Fleuret Pentecost Hymn. The floly Family, by Jacques BlAnohard. The Annunciation, by Jean Ristoul. St. Anne and the Tomb of the Saviour, by Plamon- don. The sacred vestments are the finest in America and are shewn to the stranger on appUc ttion to the verger. In close proximity to the Basilica is the Seminary Chapel, wnich contains several most valuable Paint- ings, among which are the works of Champagne. The following is a list : ,, Jesus and the Woman of Samaria 4 Lagr^^nce. The Virgin Attended by Angels Di«ru. The Crucifixion Moint. The Desert of Thebais Guillot. Terror of St. Jerome Copy by A.

Tin-: I'lUST DRIVE. 5 l.rcaviiig the Basilica and the 5?eminary Chapel, the flrive will be continued to the Grand Battery, from which a mngniticent view of the St. Charles valley, the village ofBeauport and the ranges of the Laur- entides can be had. 'J'here are fifty guns mounted oil the Battery whic;h conamand the entrance to the Harbor. In 1775, Arnold naarched his men along the streets immediately below and suffered a defea^j. Qiiite close where was Hope Gate is the build- ing once occupied by General Montcdm. Descend- ing from the Battery by Palace PI ill the visitor should not omi^ to visit the ruins of the Intendants' Palace, which are now used as vaults for the storage of beer, manufactured immediately facing the ruins. The extent of the building can easily be traced, as, although during its occupation by the troops in 1775 under Montgomery and Arnold, it was bombarded from the city and destroyed by Hre, there are sutli- cient remains to judge of the once magnificent structure. Passing over Doreh«^ster Bridge which crosses the river St. Chirles, called before the St. Croix an line of road is beautified by rows of white cottages, fronted by small patches of garden. On the site of Beauport the English were defeated by the French in the attack made by Wolfe on 31st July, 1759, in which disastrous rencontre the English lost nearly seven hundred men. At about the distance of seven miles from the city are the Falls of Montmorency, which can be seen from either above or below. The views from both places being so grand the visitor is advised not to neglect a sight which has hardly a parallel. Leav'ijg the Flotel on the further bank of the rushing river, he des- cends by a flight of steps on which is constructed a stand, commanding a view of the summit of the Falls, the sound of whose roar in that locality is more than bewildering. The wild leap of the mad waters dazzles the brain and creates a whirl in the mind which is not easily forgotten.

THE SECOND DRIVE. The Second Drive recommended to the visitor is that of the Citadel, and in passing to it through St. Louis street, is the house in which Montgomery was laid out ; and at the foot of the hill leading to the Citadel is where the brave otiicer was buried, from which place his corpse was removed on 16th Jui.e, 18 1 8, to be buried in St. Paul's Church Cemetery, N. Y. The entrance to the Citadel is through the Chain gate and afterwards Dalhousie gate, where a guide will be furnished. Immediately opposite are the Officers Quarters, in which the Princess Louise re- sided while in the city Within the walls are case- mated barracks, loop-holed for musketry and com- manding the trenches, with which the Citadel is surrounded, and the whole country landwards. The Harbor is commanded by strong batteries on which are mounted two Armstrongs and a Palliser. The Flagstaff Bastion is over three hundred and fifty feet above tide water and the view from it is the grandest possible to be conceived. The St. Law- rence rolls magnificently onwards to the ocean and Point Levis, the Island of Orleans and the village of Beauport stand forth boldly in unrivalled beauty. To the west are the Plains of Abraham, rendered ever memorable by the battle, which transferred Canada to the Britis'i Crown. Proceeding through the trenches and over the Glacis, the visitor can descend the steps to the Dutterin Terrace, a prome- nade from which a view may be had not to be sur- passed in the world. The Terrace was this year declared open by the Marquis of Lome and the Princess Louise, who were on the occasion greeted with a magnificant reception and illumination in the evening. In the Governor's Garden is the monument erect 8 1HE dRrOND DRIVE. fid to the momory of Wolfo and MontCiiltn, and the inaciiption on it is as Follows : Mortem, virtua, communem, Famam flistoria, Monumpntum Po^LcMitas Dedit.

Driving through St. Roch by the ijtto River Road the visitor Mill reach the Indian villtge ol" Jjorette, jijtuate at about nine miles from the city. On the road is the French Catholic Cemetery. In the centre of the villnge ar^ the Falls of Lorette, a delightful piece of scenery, and enhanced by the chaimin;]^ walks laid out by the proprietor of the hotel. In the western part of the village are the houses of the remains of the once powerful tribe of the Hurona, who have th'^ir own church, which it is said was designed after the model of the church in Loretto in the old world, and whose legend has rendered it famous. Imraedi itely above the Falls is the Aque- duct, from which Quebec is supplied with water, (hi the river the scenery is so charming that the slranger can hardly fail to visit It, and take a paddle up the stream tnrough fairy vistas of woodland grandeur lo Lake St. Charles. The visitor c-^n in Lorette pur- chase all kinds of Indian workmanship and test the dexterity of the Indian youth in shooting for coppers and th© beauty of the Indian maidens in needle work.
