hau.l there were the officials, civil and military. Then the floatin-^
population of soldiers an.l coinriirs de hois, anrl, lastly the servants"
who were either voluntary servants or white ca],tiye"s taken in the
uuceasm.tr raids into the Kurdish colonies; there were also a few
Indian slaves broui^ht back from some specially darinK inroads into
the distant South or West, and lowest of all were the Ixmnd servants
condemns for various offences, often for salt smu-glin- ( faulx
.saulniers), and redeeme.l hy the payment of their fines and gaoler's
charges, for which they were hound to their redemptors for a term of
years at nominal wa<,'es.
The outward ai)].earauce of the town at this time was such that it
must have recpiired all thecouniwe of the new settler to .adopt it as his
pted i) fenv in New I'Vance ; once inside the stccka.le, however he
saw a comfortable enouj^h settlement, with most of the houses built of
rubble to the height of the first story, and above that heaxy timber
work a.,d pl.aster, a style of buildin;,^ of which one can hardly lind a
trace of to-day.
The dwellii.Ks of the wealthier classes were entirely of stone, as were
those of the public institutions, such as the Seminar'y, the Hotel Dieu
and the Con-relation. There still remains an al.nos't perfect example
of the house of a rich merchant of the time, and that is the Hubert-
I.ucroix house in St. Jean Baptiste Street, now occupied hy Messrs.
Kerry, Watson .S: Co. as a warehouse. On the vx^hM of the larj^e
gateway may still be seen the little iron-doore.l, iron-windowed office
where business was carrie.l on. ami overhead the large vaulted
chamber where stores and furs were kept. The rest of the house is
almost perfect, four handsome fire-places, with their graceful wood
work, attest the excellent taste of the proprietor or his architect and
the spacious hearth in the kitchen, where the massive crane still hangs

loumled on the ancient annual barter between the Indian tribes here
amounted in 184,, t„ 31,266 tons, in 1899 to some 3,4.6,708 tons, uivi.led
between ocean-Koin- an.l inl.and vessels ; while the number of its
transatlantic steamship lines was 14. The revenue of the port last
year amounted to #295. 569. c^'. Prior to .85, onlv ves.sels under 6ck,
tons, an.l drawinj,^ not more than . i feet of water couM i.ass up to
Montreal ; but, by decrees, a channel 30 feet deep has been dred^a-d
all the way up s<, as to admit of the largest ships reaching the port
from the .Mlantic Ocean. At the .same time the inland canals have
been deepened to 14 feet.
Montreal is rot only the chief port, it is at the same time the fin-
ancial and manufacturing centre of the c.untrv. while the hea.l office
of two transcontinental lines, the Gran.l Trunk and the Cana.lian I'lci-
fic Railways, as well as of other im]H,rtant companies are situated here

.granite, shows the inscription : " Paul de Chouiedv de Maisonneuve

several ba.s-rel.efs, representing respectively : ( , , Mai.sonneuve killing

On the other side of the sc,uare facing Xotre Dame is the Bank
Of Montreal, with a capital of #18,000,000. It is said to be the
strongest financial institution in America. Its fine Corinthian struc-
ture, noted for its clas.sical purity of line, looks like the spirit of
ancient (Greece among the modern e.lifices by which it is surrounded

civilized. The other two fi,i,^ures are a settler and a sailor, the former
with a pipe of peace in his hand, reclininif u])on logs and snrrounded
by the implements of industry and culture. The sailor is jJulliiiK at a
rope, and is appropriately surrounded with the emblems of commerce.
Next to the liank of Montreal is the Post Office, a handsome
buildinj.; in tiie Renaissance style, now too small for the volume of
business.
Ojjposite it is some of the Seminary's real estate — a strikinj^ illus-
tration of the non-proj,'ressiveness of old tenures.
Turninjf eastward alonjf St. James Street, before reachiiiir the
Court House and City Hall we come to St. Gabriel Presbyterian
Church which has the honour of being the first Protestant Church
erected in Montreal. A stone, recently removed, bore the date of
erection, 1792. In its first years the Anj^licans also worshipped here,
the Protestant community of the old town beinj{ small and feeble.
The congre.Lcations were larj^ely military, fror. the j^arrison close by.
Previous to its erection, the Presbyterians for seN eral years worshipi)ed
in the Church of the Recollet Fathers, whom they, in grateful recog-
nition on leaving, presented with a gift of candles and a tun of com-
munion wine.
Behind the City Hall lies the Champ de Mars, the military
piiradf ground of the British garrisons when they existed he. 2. It is
a level piece of ground surrounded by the Court House, City Hall, St.
Gabriel Church and the Provincial tiovernment Building, formerly
the residence of the Hon. Peter McC.ill, first English Mayor of Mont-
real, 1840. The Chamj) was originally — that is to say, during P'rench
times, before 1760 — very much smaller, being only the space enclosed
by the 3rd Bastion of the city walls, but it was enlarged, in the earl ,•
years of the century, by means of earth obtained from the removal of
Citadel Hill. This was a gay neighborhood during the ])almy days of
the garrison, when some of the most famous regiments of the British
army, such as the (kiards, were stationed here.
Adjoining the Champ de Mars, and passing between the Court
House and City Hall, towards the harbour, is Jacques Cartier
Square, the upi)er ])arl of which was, in early times, the Place des
Jesuites, for the east enil of the Court House borders the site of the
I'rench Jesuit Monastery, used afterwards as military quarters, and
later rejilaced by the Gaol and the former Court House which in turn
were rejilaced, about 1S56, by the jiresenl "Palace of Justice." In
the Monastery of the Jesuits lodged the celebrated historian Charle-
voix. The foundation can be traced on the sciuare. A tablet on the

ahle portion of ii is rusiTvi'il I'or military ])urposfs, and a fort exists
within the enclosure. In the d.iys of British j^^arrisons, this wasa j,'ii^'
plaee. It is now the resort, on hot days, of the crowded masses, lo
whom its shades ami hree/es are .in inestimahle boon. The island was
remarked upon hy Ch;nnplain, on his 1611 visit, a., a site for a stron.i.;
town. He so j,rreally faneied it that he ])uri-hased it, a little later,
with money out of his wife's dowry.
It seems to have lieen K.nietimes used iiy the I'reneh as a inilitarv
station, for in Jmie, 16S7, ilic Chevalier de Vaudreuil jiosted both the
re.nular troojjs and the milit.a there in readiness to mareh .aj^'ainst the
Iro(|Uois. Thither tin' Marcinisde Levis, comniandii .■ the last iM-eneh

Honore I'reehette, the national l-'rench-Canadian poet, bases upon this
his ])oeni, entitled : " .Ml Lost but Honour."
In 16S.S, the islaml was ae'piired by Charles Le Moyue, Sieur de
Lun.Ljueuil, who .!;ave the name of Ste. Heleiie to one of his most dis-
tinf,'uished sons. I)urin.s4lhe ei,i,diteeuth centm-y 1 from before l,-,^l,
his deseen('iuls, the liarons of I,on,iiUenil, whose territory liy just
oj)])osite, haii a residence here, the ruins of which, once surrounded
with fiiirdens, are to be seen u])on it on the east side, near the jiresent
restaurant. The .yovernmenl accpiired the island by arrantjement
during the war of 1.S12, and later I)y purchasein iSi.S, for militarv ])ur-
poses. It ceded the park ])ortion to the citv in 1.S74.
Returninj; to the city, we niiiy j^o alon,L; Connuissiouers' street to
the Custom House, where, us already stated, Chamjjlaiii selected
the city site. Two tablets record this initial fact of tile city's history,
and another records its site.
The new settlement was named \'ille-Marie. in honor of the patron
saint of the fraternity, " The Uueen of Heaven." .\s they held that
the island was peopled by demons, they sanji the Te Deum very loudly
anddellantly, and fired cannon to drive them away, and had the .t^ood
fortune to do so. .-\ picket fort was commenced and mounted with
cannon, and this enclosure, known sometimes ,as the b'ort de \'ille-
Marie, .stood on Commissioners" street, just behind the thoroU!,dif;ire
in re;ir of the Custom House, known as I'orl street.

Jiiiiin building, with its Doric jjortico, is tli.; yrave of Jiiiiies McCill; on
the rijrlu, the .Medical Collc-re (in the reari, and I'errier Hall i the
Methodist affiliated College); on the far side of Universitv street, the
Montreal Diocesan College, hidden by the other buildinjr's ; then the
great Macdonald Technical liuihlin^r and William Workman Shops ;
next to it the Macdonald Chemistry and Mininjr Ihiilding, and the
IMacdonald Physics Laboratory. The foreground is occu])ie(l bv the
College campus and walks. Behind the whole, Mount Royal rises
prominently as a refreshing green I)ackgrouHd. Continuing our course
westward, we reach Dominion Square, around which are several
fine buildings. St. James' Cathedral designed to sun)ass all other
temples in America in .size and magnificence, is a opy of the immense
St. Peter's of Rome, the Cathedral of all Catholicism, of which it is
half the dimensions. The idea was conceived bv the late Archbishop
Rourget after the burning, in 1S54, of his Catliedral of St. Jacques,
then on St. Denis street. The architect was Victor Bourgeau. who
went to Rome to study the original. The foundations were com-
menced in 1S70. The dome is by mo.st people considered the great
feature, and dominates all parts of the city. It is 70 feet in diameter
at its comm icement, and its summit is 210 feet from the spectators
on the floor of the church. It is an exact copy of the famous dome of
St. Peter's, Rome, and is 250 feet in height to the top of the cross, 46
feet higher than the towers of Notre-Dame. Four smaller domes
surround the main one. The interior of the church is interesting
from its size and jjlan.
At the corner of Dorchester and Guy streets another large build-
ing meets our view, the Grey Nuns' Hospital, which takes its
current name from the grey costume of its community. More even
than the Hotel-Dieu, this institution strikes one by its monastic vast-
ness. and severity of outline, extending over great part of a large four- ■
square street-block. It was founded in 1747, by Madame d'Youville f
( INIarie Marguerite (hi Frost de la Jemmerais) , the widow of an officer.
Many curiou.s objects, made by, or belonging to her, and illustrating
the state of her times, belong to the institution, such as delicate
embroidery and her enamelled clasp knife.
The nuns are said to have received their name in opprobrium, for, ;
from the foundation of their order, malice was rife against them am
the foundress, on the part of the Governor of the town and the leadim;
inhabitants, and they were accused, among the common people o
the use of alcohol and other evil actions. These charges they inhe
rited with the management of the old Hospital General, founded in

some, at least, of the evils arising from the faihire. In consetiuence
of his will, a pressure was bronght to hear on the (Government, which
resulted in 1he;i])pointment of the lioardof the Royal Institution in iSiS,
which proceeded to the establishment of non-denominational schools.
In so far as McGill was concerned, the Royal Institution at once
took action in ajiplying for a royal charter, which was granted in
1.S21, and i)repared to take possession of the estate. This, however,
owing to litigation as to the will, was not surrendered to them till
1K29. They also demanded the grants of land which had been
promised, and received fresh assurances ; and as an earnest of their '
fulfillment, the Government of the day was authorized to erect a
building for McCiill College, and to defray the exj)enses out of the ■
"Jesuits' Estates." lUit the hopes thus held out proved illusorv, ij
and the college buildings had to be begun with th« money left by 'i
Mr. ^Ic(iill, and were at lengtli completed only by the liberalitv i
of another citizen of ISIontreal, the late William ]Molson. The j
value of the property bequeathed by Mr. McCrill was estimated at J
the time of his death, at /■3o,ooo ; and it has since become |
nmcli greater, owing to the growth of the city. |
Under the charter granted in 1.S21 were carried on for thirty |
years the early operations of the University — embarras.sed bv jiecu- 1
niary difficulties, owing to the failure of the Government to give tin
promised public aid, and by the structure of the charter itself. Tlu
result was that, after nearly thirty years of struggle, the Universitv, will: '
the exception of the Medical faculty, was nearly extinct, and tha' ;
it was without sufficient income even to sustain the scanty stafi
which it then possessed in the faculty of Arts. Its existence at thi;
time seems to have been largely due to the persistency with whici;
the late Vice-Principal, Yen. .\rchdeacon Leach, clung to its interests '
It was then that .severrd gentlemen, citizens of Montreal, assumei
the responsibility of its renovation and secured an amended charter
under which its later work has been carried on.
" At this very critical period the Governors of McGill selecte
the late vSir William Dawson, then Mr. J. \X. Dawson, as the one marj
who gave i)romise of ])ringing relief to the difficult and almo.st hopele>
situation .
" While his work as an educationist may be said to have con
menced as early as 1.S46, our interest centres chiefly in that care(
which commenced with his entrance u])on the work of university li;
at McGill in 1.S54. Here he found a herculean task before him, but wit
unfaltering courage, with a stea-v,-., ,,ui. iiic,-,c musi oe recognized

progress at various periods, it must not be overlooked that those grand
.achievements, which have been i)o.s.sible within the last half decade
Avould have been altogether impossible had not the foundation upon
Jwhich they are reared been lai.l with the greatest sagacity and fore-
,j.siglit during a period of nearly half a century.
i 'SirWilliam Dawson's work as an educati.mist, was bv no means
I muted to the University ; it was comprehensive, and embraced the
f nlire e.lucational system of the Province. His influence was felt
Hot only in every town and village of the Dominion, but it extended
to various parts of the I'nited States and Kurope. Possessed of a vensa-
;ile and comprehensive mind, he carried on numerous and. .-xacting
■esearches in the mid.st of the multiform and perplexing cares inci-
k'ut to the administering of a growing ruiversitv, the exactions of
lie class room, and the demands of numerous public affairs, in all of
,j vhich he took an active interest, lending his influence wherever and
carried on.

lis time, 1)ut It IS proper to point out that his great versatility of talent
iiadehini equally conspicuous in other departments of scientific work
Ithough his fame as a geologist has often caused this fact to be lost
iglitof."
On the retirement of Sir William Dawson in 1,893, the Gover-
ors appointed William Peter.scm, Llv.D., Princii)al.

Over the luouiilaiii is not a hard ride when one knows how to
tiike it, and any up-hill work is more than repaid hy the j^reat heaulv
of the roads and the delij^htful ease of the homeward s])in. If \<)u
object to hills yon can take the elevator. Protn there just follow the
roads ; you will not exhaust them in one day or Iwo.
Around the two mountain^ is a jjleasard ride of about twelve
miles. Take the road u]) Hlenry Street past the exhibition iiromids,
alouj,f the Cole vSl. Catherine road and throuj^li the villaj^'e of Cote des
