'■ft QgKBKC, founded by Samuel de Chainplain, ia 1608, Ims certainly inucli to recommend itself^ by liistorioal metnoriea and bv scenerv, to the traveller—the scliolar — the historian. The wintormgof the venture- some Jacques Garlier on tiie ban'cs of the St. Charlee, in 1535-6, by its remoteness, is an incident of interest not only to Canadians, but also to every denizen of America. It takes one back to an era nearly coeval with the discovery of the continent by Columbus — much ante- rior ^0 the foundation of Jamestown, in 1607 — anterior to that of St. Augustine in FloriJa, in 1592. Quebec has, then, a right to call herself an old, a very old, city of the west. The colonization of Canada, or, as it was fornidrly called, New F»'ance, was undertaken by companies of French merchants engaged in the fur trade, close on whose steps followed a host of devoted missionaries, who lound in the forests of this new and attractive country ample scope for the exercise of their religious enthusiasm. It was at Quebec that these Christian heroes landed ; fron) hence, thev started for the forest primeval, the bearers of the olive branch of Christianity, of civilization. A fatal mistake) committed at the outset by the French commanders, in taking part in the Indian wars, more than once brought the incipient colony to the verge cl ruin : during these periods scores of devoted missionaries s -5W*i:.

Its environF, the shores of its noble river, more thati once became the battle-fields of Europe. oi armies. These were eventful periods— happily gone by, -.ve liope, forever. In l]is ^'Pioneers of France In ilic Keio IVorld,^^ the gifted Fr?. Parkman mournfully reviews the vanished glories of old France in her fornior vast dominions in America : ''The French dor.union is a memory of the past; and when we wake its departed shale , they rise upon us from their graves in strange romantic guise. Again tlieir ghostly camp-iires seem to burn, and the fitful liglit is cast around on lord and vassal and black-robed priest, mingled with wild forms of savage warriors, knit in close fellowship on the same stern erran 1, a boundless vision grows upon us : an untamed continent ; vast wastes of forest verdure ; mountams silent ia primeval sleep ; river, lake, and glinunering pool ; wilderness oceans mingling with the sky : such was the domain which France conquered fi;r civiHzation.
