PREFACE. 
 
 ;ight 
 er of 
 
 It is easy to remember the general features in the Iiistovy of 
 Canada ; but it is practically impossible to recollect tlic dates 
 of more than a few of the important events, and wlien, in the 
 course of reading or writing, a date is wanted, a searcli is often 
 tedious or inconvenient. To supply, in some measure, a means 
 of ready reference in such a case, is the object of this hand- 
 book. In its preparation very little use has Ijeeji made oi; 
 indeed, could be made of the ordinary text-books and histories, 
 of which it may rather be considered the complement. Wh'U- 
 ever possiV)le, recourse has been had to original sources ot 
 information, and greater accuracy, not only as to dates l)Ut also 
 as to other details, has thus been attained. The dates have 
 been arranged in tabular form, in order to facilitatt- reft:reu<;e. 
 and any explanations considered necessary have bpe)i put into 
 the form of notes, some of which will ))e found to contain 
 curious and little-known facts.

 in 1G05, HUtl called Port Royal, was on the north side of Annapolis 
 Basin, nearly opposite Goat Island. It was abandoned in 1607, 
 re-occupied in 1610, and destroyed in 1613 by the Virginians under 
 Cai)tain Argall. In 1620 it was re-settled by a number of Scotch 
 colonists. After the treaty of St. Germain it was restored to the 
 French, who almost immediately abandimed it ; the fort was de- 
 molished ; and the seat of government was removed for a time to 
 La Heve, not far from the present town of Lunenburg. This is 
 the last mention of De Mont's Port Royal. Some time between 
 1636 and 1645, a new settlement, also called Port Royal, was 
 established by d'Aunay Charnisay, about six miles from the site of 
 the former settlement, but on the south side of Annapolis Basin, 
 and a fort was built there, of which the ruins are still to be seen. 
 It is this second Port Royal which was taken by Sedgwick in 1664, 
 by Phips in 1690, and finally by Nicholson on the 13th October, 
 1710, when the name was changed to Annapolis in honor of Queen 
 Anne. 
 
 7. The 8th of June was for a long time regarded as the date of 
 the foundation of Halifax, and on that day in 1849 the centenary 
 of the foundation of the city was celebrated. The correctness of 
 that date, however, cai^iC to be questioned, and, in 1862, corre- 
 spondence between the celebration committee and the Commis- 
 sioner of Public Records led to the production by him of a letter 
 written by Cornwallis, in which he stated that he had arrived in 
 Halifax Harbor on the 21st of June. A proclamation by the 
 Lieutenant-Governor then jvppeared in the Royal Gazette, appoint- 
 ing the 21st of June, 1862, as the anniversary of the settlement 
 of Halifax, and on that day it has ever since been observed. But, 
 although Cornwallis did arrive in Chebucto Harbor on the 21st of 
 June, it was only with his suite on board the sloop-of-war Sphinx. 
 It appears, by his subsequent letters to the Secretary of State, 
 that it was not until the 27th that the first of the transports that 
 brought over the settlers appeared off the harbor, and it would 
 seem that it was not before the 30th of June that he landed the 
 settlers and that Halifax was founded.

 8. In this list of battles are included many minor engagements, 
 and also captures of i)laces in some cases ettected without lighting. 
 
 9. Slavery was gradually extinguished in Upper Canada by an 
 Act of the Legislature, passed July 9, 1793, which forbade the 
 further importation ftf slaves and ordered that all slave children 
 born after that date should be free on attaining the age oi twenty- 
 five. Slavery still existed at York on the 1st of March, 1811. 
 
 10. Slavery terminated throughout the British colojiies, bj' Act 
 of the Imperial Parliament, on the 1st of August, 1834. 
 
 11. Under the Act, passed in 18C9 by the Canadian Parliament, 
 for the temporal*}' government of Ruperts Land and the North- 
 western Territory, the Hon. William McDougall was ai>pointed 
 Lieutenant-Governor on the 29th of October, 1869 ; but he was 
 prevented by the insurrection of the French half-breeds from 
 entering the country, and he returned to Ottawa in December. 
 
 12. In 1708 a Secretjiry of State was appointed for American 
 and Colonial aftairs, which from 1600 had been managed by the 
 Council of Plantations or of Trade and Plantations ; but this office 
 was abolished in 1782, and the attairs of the colonies devolved on 
 the Home Department, being in the charge of a separate branch 
 of that department, called the Office for Plantations, and being at 
 first managed by a sei)arate Under-Secretary. In 1794 the office 
 of Secretary of State for the Colonies was revived in the person 
 of Henry Dundas (afterwards Lord Melville), who was also Secre- 
 tary for War, and this new department was thenceforth gener- 
 ally known as the Colonial or Colonial and War Department. 
 Since 1854 the affairs of the cohmies have been under the exclu- 
 sive charge f»f a principal Secretary of State. 
 
 13. In almost all the lists hitherto published of Governors of 
 Canada, the dates given are those of their commissions. But these 
 dates, especially as regards the French Governors, are in many 
 cases not even an api)roximation to the commencement of their 
 tenure of office. For instance, Lauzon. d'Argenson and M(?zy 
 were appointed for three years, not from the date of their com-

 missions, but from the day of their landing at Quebec ; Vaudreuil 
 did not assume the government, as governor, until 1705, or more 
 than two years after the date of his commission ; and in the case 
 of La Jonqui^re the interval was still greater. 
 
 14. Quebec was held by the English, under Louis Kirke, from 
 July 20, 1629, to July 13, 1632, when it was restored to France. 
 The colony was then governed by Emery de Caen and Duplessis 
 Bochart, until Champlain's return, May 23, 1633. 
 
 15. Champlain died on the 25th of December. Chateaufort's 
 administration began on the day of the interment, probably the 
 28th. 
 
 16. The Marquis de Tracy, the King's Lieutenant-04n4ral in 
 America, arrived at Quebec, June 30, 1665, and was virtually 
 Governor of Canada till his departure, August 28, 1667. 
 
 17. La Galissonni^re was sent out to administer the government 
 during the captivity of La Jonqui^re, who, on his way from France, 
 had been made prisoner by the English, in a naval engagement oflf 
 Cape Finisterre, May 3, 1747. 
 
 18. According to the epitaph preserved in Smith's History of 
 Canada, La Jonquiere died on the 17th of May, and that is the 
 date given by every writer since. However, there is grave reason 
 to doubt either the correctness of the epitaph itself or its having 
 been correctly copied. In a letter from Bigot to the Minister, 
 dated Quebec, May 6, 1752, it is distinctly stjvted that La Jonquiere 
 died on the 17th of March ; the same date is given in the Bigot 
 Memoir ; and several letters from de Longueuil, the administrator, 
 written before the 17th of May, can be explained only by accepting 
 March and not May as the month of La Jonquiere's death. 
 
 19. Although Amherst's name is usually placed first on the list 
 of English Governors of Canada, it is well known that after the 
 capitulation of Montreal he divided the Province into three govern- 
 ments or districts, for each of which he appointed a Governor, and 
 that he himself very shortly afterwards left the country and did 
 not return. The Governors of these three districts, during what

 20. Guy Carleton was made a Knight of the Bath, July 6, 1776. 
 He was created Lord Dorchester, August 21, 1786. 
 
 21. From 1786 to 1867 the Governor at Quebec held a commis- 
 sion also as Governor of each of the Maritime Provinces, and, 
 (from 1791 to 1841,) of Upper Canada, the government of each of 
 these Provinces being administered by a Lieutenant-Governor, 
 except during the presence in the province of the Governor-in- 
 Chief, which seldom happened. 
 
 22. Governor Prescott left for England, July 31, 1799 : but he 
 continued to hold the office of Governor until 1807. 
 
 23. Lieutenant-Governor Milnes was created a Baronet, Feb- 
 ruary 14, 1801. 
 
 24. On the 12th of July, 181fj, Sir John Sherbrooke took the 
 oaths of office at Quebec, althtnigh he had previously, on the 8th 
 of June, been sworn in at Halifax. 
 
 25. Sir Peregrine Maitland, Lieutenant-Governor of Ui>per 
 Canada, was sworn in at Quebec, as administrator of the govern- 
 ment, on the 8th of February. He returned to Upper Canada 
 next day ; but came back to Quebec in March, and whs again

 28. Sir Charles Metcalfe was created Baron Metcalfe in January, 
 1845. 
 
 29. Sir .John Young was created Baron Lisgar on the 8th of 
 October, 1870. 
 
 30. There is still so much darkness and confusion about the early 
 history of Acadia, esi)ecially down to the time of Grandfontaine, 
 that there is difficulty in determining the very names of the gover- 
 nors, and this list is but an attempt to reconcile some of the con- 
 tradictions which exist between any two independent histories of 
 that i»eriud. 
 
 31. It would seem that during this period (1636-1641) Acadia 
 was divided into two governments : that of La Tour, comprising 
 the peninsula of Nova Scotia, and that of D'Aunay Charnisay, 
 extending along the coast of New Brunswick and Maine, from 
 Chignecto t( > Pemaciuid. 
 
 32. Acadia was held by the English from 1654 to 1670 ; for, 
 although the treaty of Breda provided for its restoration to France, 
 it was not actually surrendered till July, 1670. 
 
 33. Brouillan sailed for France, December 18, 1704. He died 
 at sea. on his way back tt) Acadia, September 22, 1705. 
 
 34. Henry Ellis, who had been Governor of Georgia in 1758, 
 was appointed Governor of Nova Scotia, April 14, 1761 ; but he 
 never came to assume the position, and upon his resignation Lieu- 
 tenant-Governor Wilmot was appointed Governor, October 8, 1763. 
 
 35. Legge left for England, ISIay 12, 1776, but continued to hold 
 the commission of Governor, and the actual government was car- 
 ried on by the Lieutenant-Governors.

 See Note 21. 
 
 37. A curious uiisconceptioii exists as to the Lieut onant-Oover- 
 nors of the Province of Quebec. When the celebrated English 
 reader, Mr. Bellew, was in Quebec, a few years ago, he sought in- 
 formation concerning an ancestor of his who was 8ui)i)osed to have 
 been " Lieutenant-frovernor of Quebec" at the end of the last 
 centuiy. A short correspondence on the subject api)eared in the 
 Quebec Chronicle, and was reproduced in the Canadian Antiijuarian 
 in July, 1874 ; and it was there .stated that not only Major-dleneral 
 Patrick Bellew was appointed Lieutenant-Govern(»r, liut that he 
 was succeeded by Colonel John Callow and, probably, by General 
 Morris. Subseiiuent writers, in atteiii})ting to form a list of the 
 Lieutenant-Governors of the Province, included Bellew, Calhjw 
 and Morris, although the position was ai)i)arently tilled during 
 those years by Prescott, Milnes and others. Moreover, it seemed 
 to escape notice that the proper title of the Lieutenant-Governor 
 of the Province was, at that time, not the Lieutenant-Governor of 
 Quebec, but the Lieutenant-Governor of Lower Canada. Still, it 
 is true that Bellew and Callow were "Lieutenant-Governor of 
 Quebec ;'" but that was 8imi)ly the title of the officer second in 
 command of the garrison of Quebec. As in other garrison-towns, 
 there was also an officer styled the G(»vernor, and that was the 
 position held by Morris. The following list of these officers, down 
 to 1840. and the dates of their appointment will make this matter 
 clear : —

 real to replace Dupuy, as ordonnatenr. D'Aigremont died on the 
 Ist of December, 1728, and was succeeded, on the 18th of Janu- 
 ary, 1729, by De Tilly, who was commhsMiire de hi marine at Que- 
 bec. Although acting in concert with Beauharnois and sending 
 reports to France, it dctes not appear that either D'Aigremont or 
 De Tilly was present at any meeting of the council in the interval 
 between Dupuy's departure and Hocquart's installation. The 
 council was during that time presided by Delino, premier conseiller. 
 
 In Doutre and Lareau's Histoire dii Droit Gmuidien it is claimed 
 that Ferland is mistaken in stating that Dupuy was recalled, and 
 Garneau is cited in support of this. Ferland's statement, how- 
 ever, is confirmed by the minutes of the coiimH extraordinaire of 
 the 22nd of September, 1728, where it is stated that on the 1st of 
 that month Dupuy was notified of his recall. 
 
 55. By a commission of March 8, 1729, Hocquart was appointed 
 commissaire g^n&t'cU de la marine, to perform the duties, and enjoy 
 the honors, authority, prerogatives, rank in the council, etc., of 
 the Intendant, in the absence of such an officer for New France. 
 He first sat in that capacity on the 6th of September, 1729. His 
 commission as Intendant was registered, August 20, 1731. 
 
 56. Thomas LegaufFre was named Bishop of Canada in 1645, 
 but died a few weeks afterwards, and was never consecrated. 
 
 57. Bishop Laval was consecrated as vicar-apostolic for New 
 France, December 8, 1658, and landed at Quebec, June 16, 1659.

 92. The Ffouteiuic is fretiuently alluded to as the first steamer 
 on Lake Ontario; but the Kingston Gazette, mentioning the 
 launch, adds that "a steamboat was lately launched at Sacket's 
 Harbour." The Frontcnar's first trip to the head of the lake was 
 not made until June 5, 1817. 
 
 93. The Royal William, a Canadian-built vessel, was the first to 
 cross the Atlantic fci/ stcam-povtr alune. This distinction has (jften 
 been claimed for the Sarannah, which left Savannah on the 26th 
 of May, 1819, and reached Liverpool on the 20th of June ; but 
 most of the trip was made under wiil alone, the paddle-wheels 
 being taken on hoard. In fact, the Savamuth was merely a full- 
 rigged sailing vessel, and as such only was employed after her 
 return to America. No transatlantic steamer arrived in any port 
 of the L'nited States until the 23rd of April, 1838, when the 
 Siriiis and the Great Westei-n entered the port of New York, within 
 a few hours of each other. The Sirins h»ul left Cork on the 4th 
 of April, and the Great Westeiii had left Bristol on the 8th. 
 
 The Royal William was built by Robert Black for the " Quebec 
 and Halifax Steam Navigation Comi)any," and was launched at 
 Campbell's ship-yard, near Quebec, on the 27th April, 1831, Lady 
 Aylmer performing the ceremony of naming her. She was towed 
 to the foot of St. Mary's current, Montreal, where she received 
 her engines, of about 200 horse-power, from Bennett «fe Henuer- 
 son's foundry, and returned to Quebec in August. Her builder's 
 measurement was 1,370 tons ; but she was not expected to 
 carry more than 400 or 500, owing to the space occupied by the

 engines and to her sharp build. Her dimensions were as follow : — 
 Length of keel, 146 feet ; length of deck, 1'76 feet ; breadth of 
 beam, 44 feet ; dei>th of hold, 17 feet, 9 inches. She was rigged 
 like a three-masted schooner, with three square sails "n her fore- 
 mast, besides large fore and aft sails. Her under-deck cabin was 
 fitted up with upwards of fifty ample berths and a large parlor, 
 and in a round-house on deck was a spacious dining-room. When 
 ready for sea, her cost was estimjited at £16,000. She left Quebec 
 on her first trip to Halifax and way ports, on the 24th August, 
 1831. This route, however, did not prove profitable, and in 1833 
 her owners sent her to England to be sold. On the 5th of August, 
 1833, she left Quebec, under command of Captain John McDougall. 
 After being detained seven days at Pictou, repairing the engines 
 and boilers and taking in coal, she started across the Atlantic on 
 the 17th of August. Her cargo is described as being "natural 
 curiosities and spars." There were five cabin and several steerage 
 passengers, the price of a cabin passage being £20. According to 
 the captain's account, he was "about twenty days on the passage, 
 having run six or seven days with the larboard engine in con- 
 sequence of the starboard engine being disabled, and was detained 
 at different times about a week lying to, repairing the boilers 
 which had become very leaky." Gravesend was reached on the 
 11th of Septembt . Some days afterwards she was sc»ld to Joseph 
 Somes, a ship-owner of Radcliff, and made a couple of trips to 
 Portugal. In September, 1834, she was sold to the Spanish Govern- 
 ment, and her name was changed to Ysabel Segunda, the first war 
 steamer the Spaniards ever possessed. In 1837 or 1838 her hull 
 was condemned and a new ship was built to receive the old 
 engines. 
 
 In disputing the Royal William's claim to priority, it has some- 
 times been confounded with another steamer, bearing the same 
 name, which left Liverpool for New York on the 5th of July, 1838, 
 and consequently crossed the Atlantic after the Sirins and Great 
 Western.

 Lawrence Raih'oad " was incorporated on the 25th of February, 
 1832 ; but work was not begun until 1835. On the 21st of July, 
 1836, the first train was run over the road from Laprairie, nearly 
 opposite Montreal, to St. Johns, a distance of 14^ miles. A few 
 days before an accident had happened to the little engine, and it 
 was deemed advisable to attach to it only two of the passenger 
 cars, while the others were drawn each by two horses. Some three 
 hundred persons, including the Earl of Gosford and other high 
 officials, were present, by invitation of the directors, to take this 
 first trip over a Canadian railway. Next day, when the engine 
 had been repaired, it effected the journey to St. Johns, with two 
 passenger and two loaded freight cars, in forty-five minutes, and 
 returned in thirty. The rolling-stock of the road consisted of the 
 engine, of from five to six tons, c^f four passenger cars, each 
 carrying eight persons, and of twenty freight cars, capable of con- 
 veying ab(jut ten tons each. The engine cost £1,500, and the cars 
 £1,000. The cost of the road itself was estimated at £33,500.

 Church was being repaired, the congregation assembled for public 
 worship during two months or more in the same church. In Que- 
 bec also, Protestants were granted the same privilege by the 
 RecoUets, during several years previous to the destruction of their 
 church by fire, on the 6th of September, 1796. As early as Thurs- 
 day, May 21, 1767, the following notice ai)pears in the Quebec 
 Gazette : " On Sunday next divine service, according to the use of 
 the Church of England, will be held at the Recollets' Church, and 
 continue for the summer season, beginning soon after eleven. The 
 drum will beat each Sunday soon after half an hour past ten, and 
 the Recollets' bell ring, to give notice of the English service the 
 instant their own is ended." 
 
 100. By royal letters patent of June 3, 1753, the care of the 
 Montreal hospital was transferred to Madame D'Youville and the 
 grey nuns. 
 
 101. Until a very few years ago it was popularly sup^x^sed that 
 the first newspa})er printed in Canada was the Quebec Gazette. 
 It is true that in Murdoch's History of Nova Scotia, published at 
 Halifax in 1866, he says, under the date 1754 : "In this year we 
 find, perhaps, the earliest notice extant of a newspaper published 
 in Nova Sc(jtia. In a letter of Secretary Cotterell to Captain 
 Flyer, at Piziijuid, speaking of the priest, M. Daudin, he says : 
 ' If he chuses to play the hel esprit in the Halifax Gazette, he may 
 communicate his matter to the printer as soon as he i)leases, as he 
 will not print it without showing it to me.'" But, commenting 
 on this statement, Mr. Campbell remarked in his Kist< tv < >f Nova 
 Scotia, seven years later, that the })aper to which Murdoch 
 referred was first published in 1769 by Anthony Henry, that it was 
 designated the Nova Scotia Chronicle or Weekly Gazette, and that 
 it was edited by Cajttain Bulkley, who was for many years Secre- 
 tary of the Province and a member of the Council. This seemed 
 to re-establish, in the opinion of several writers, the priority of 
 the Quebec Gazette, and the question was set at rest only in 1883, 
 when there a})i)eared an account of a discovery made by Mr. A.

 Lawson, the proprietor of the Yarmouth (N.S.) Herald. This was 
 the discovery, in the library of the Massachusetts Historical 
 Society in Boston, of the first number of the Halifax Gazette, 
 dated the 23rd of March, 1752, and "published by John Bushnell, 
 at the printing office in Grafton Street." It appears that after 
 some months publication was for a time suspended, and that the 
 paper was not issued regularly until about the autumn of 1760. In 
 1770, upon the discontinuance of the Nova Scotia Gazette, (founded 
 in 1762,) the title was altered to the Nova Scotia Gazette and 
 Weekly Chronicle. The publication ceased in December, 1800. 
 
 102. The Quebec Gazette was published in both French and 
 English until October 29, 1842 ; then in English only until 1874, 
 when the paper was discontinued. 
 
 103. The Montreal Advertiser was the first daily paper published 
 in British North America. 
 
 104. The Kingston Whig appeared in 1849 as a daily paper — the 
 first in Upper Canada. 
 
 105. Le Fantasqiie was the first satirical paper published in 
 Canada. 
 
 106. The Halifax Post was the first daily paper in Nova Scotia. 
 
 107. Previous to its incorporation the name was St. John's. 
 The change was made at the suggestion of Attorney-General Ward 
 Chipmau, who drafted the charter. 
 
 108. The Bank of Kingston, or, as it was subseciuently called, 
 the jyretetided Bank of Upper Canada, was established at Kingston 
 in 1819 ; but it soon stopped payment. 
 
 109. An Act to provide for the introduction of the decimal 
 ystem was passed by the Canadian Legislature, August 31, 1851 ; 
 
 but it was not approved by tlie English Government. By another 
 Act, which came into force, August 1, 1854, the legal denomi- 
 nations of current money were declared to be pounds, shillings 
 and pence, and dollars and cents.
