This old city occupies the base nud suuuuit of a lofty crag projecting into the St. Lawrence. .Jacques Cartiei', the first EiU'opean who sailed into the rivei-, spent the winter of 15!^ at the base of the cliffs, and French fur companies soon after established here a head- quarters for trading. As the settle- ment grew, and the fortifications were enlarged, Quebec became the stronghold of Canada, remaining so until captured by the English under Wolfe, in 1759 No city in America is so grandly situated or difers views from its higlier points so diversified and lovely. In Upper Town, on the highlands, the public buildings, churches, convents, schools, business blocks and hotels arc found. Lower Town is the commercial quarter and aboiuids in irregular narrow streets and ((uaint old houses. Enoi-mous transactions in lumber go on here {inniially. The lower valley of the St. Lawrence and the northern lumber- ing regifms draw their merchandise from this centre, Th<' surrounding country is remarkably inteiesting in scenery, hist()ry,andop|)<)i'tuiiities for spoit The railways leading here are the Canadian Pacific and Quelx'c A: Lake St. .John. To Levis on the opposite bank of the St. Lawrence* come the Crand Trunk, the Intei'- colonial, and the Quelx'c Cential.
