J. Boucher being elected its first President, In January, 1866, the name of the Society was changed to the " Numis- matic and Anti([uarian Society of Montreal " ; and in 1869, a charter of incorporation was obtained. The Society has unobtrusively worked on until the present time, and it now possesses a cabinet contain- ing an interesting collection of coins and medals, and a consider- able number of books and maps, etc., etc. ; it was resolved to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the foundation of the Society by striking a medal, and by holding an Exhibition of Historical Portraits, and any other curiosities, illustrative of Canadian history ; and the result is this evening submitted to the public, with the con- fident assurance that it is a collection deserving more than a casual recognition. This Catalogue has been compiled, not alone as a guide to the Exhibition per se, but also in the hope that it may be regarded as an useful vade-mecum for all time, as a faithful record of matters relating to Canadian history, not previously brought together ; the Exhibition was conceived, and has been carried out as a " Ic^bour of love," by the members of the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society, and their aim has been accomplished in the cordial response of the many friends who have loaned their treasures ; and to those friends the Committee desire to convey their thanks. In the words of Lord Nares : — " To have a thing is nothing; if you've not the chance to show it, , And to know a thing is nothing; unless others know you know it." Montreal, December 15th, 1887. ^G2>59 POSTSCRIPT. The Officers of the Society again desire to express their warm thanks for the generous response of the "troops of friends" who have aided them through their kindness, to collect the most extra- ordinary and attractive Exhibition ever seen in the city of Montreal. Doubtful of success, the contributions at first came in slowly, but at the last moment, the Committee have laboured under an embarras des richesses to such a degree that a perfect and complete classifica- tion became impossible in time for the Exhibition.

On the recall of Lord Gosford, Earl Durham was appointed Gover- nor-General, arriving in May, 1838, Every act of the new Governor wiig marked by liberality and disinterestedness. By a bold expe- dient, he disposed of all the political prisoners without the excite- ment of a formal trial ; the minor offenders were pardoned, and 80 of the ringleaders were banished to Bermuda. The Britisli Parlia- ment did not approve of this, and passed an act of indemnity, setting aside Lord Durham's ordinance whereby the prisoners had been banished. On learning this, the Governor sent in his resigna- tion, to the regret of the French and English populations alike. He advocated a Federal Uniou of the British North A merican Provinces, and before leaving the Government, he made a tour through the Canadas, and prepared a report so admirable in its accuracy and impartiality, that it holds an unsurpassed rank among official documents. However Utopian it may have been regarded at the time, it was owing to this report that the Union of the Canadas was resolved upon. Responsible Government intro- duced, and a general amelioration of Colonial policy effected, indeed the present system of Confederation was foreshadowed.

Born at Three Rivers, 1767, died there 1843. Was the second son of Aaron Hart. He was very popular, and respected by all classes of the community. In 1807, he was elected to replace the Hon. John Lee as member of the Legislative Assembly for Three Rivers, defeating by a large majority Mathew Bell, Col. Thomas C CofHn, and Pierre Vesina, advocate. Mr. Hart dechned to take the oath "on the faith of a Christian," the clerk r)ermitting him to take it in the Jewish form. The House objected and declared the seat vacant. He was again returned in May, 1808, by an equally large majority over his opponents (Messrs. Badeaux, Vesina, and Judge Foucher), but was prevented from taking his seat by a similar resolution, and the House, to avoid a re-election, pressed the second reading of a Bill to " disqualify Jews " from being eligible to a seat in the House of Assembly." The 2 18 1 i! S i ;'■ 1 l1 M third reading was fixed for the 15th May, 1809, when the Governor- General (Sir James H. Craig), an intimate friend of tlie Harts' since he opposed the American forces at Three Rivers, came to tlie rescue, and in most indignant terms, and to the surprise of the Ho'ige, dissolved it. '' You have dissipated your time," he aid," in passing acts which appear to be unconstitutional infringe- " nients of the rights of the subject, and repugnant to the very " letter of the statute of the Imperial Parliament under which you " hold your seats ; and to have been matured by proceedings which '• amount to a dereliction of the first principles of natural justice." For the Parliament of 1809, Mr. Hart, though offered, declined r»3-electIon, not being willing to prolong tlie strife, or raise religious ]irejudices. He lived long enough to see (in 1831). at the request of his son, Samuel B6cancour Hart, the Act "Cap. 57 Anno prime (lulielmi IV." passed, by which both became Justi.es of the Peace, iind the further disqualification of Jews was rescinded. It is to the credit of Canada that this act of justice and civiliza- tion was passed 26 years before a similar act became law in the British House of Commons. Mr. Hart was a Militia Officer, and served in the War of 1812.

The historian Garneau thus sums up the character of this cele- brated man : — " Francois de Laval, the first Bishop in Caiada, was a scion of " the illustrious house of Montmorency. To his high descent he " owed much of the influence which he exercised in the civil as " well as the ecclesiastical affairs of the colony, making and un- 26 " making its governors at will. He had great talents and muuh " activity, while his overl)earing spirit brooked no opposition. His '• naturally obstinate character, hardened rather than subdued by " religious zeal, caused constant dissensions between himself and " the public functionaries with whom he had to deal; ho also got " into trouble with the heads of tlie local religious communities " and even with private individualH. He was firm in the belief " that in whatever he did for the supposed weal of the church, in " any contingency, he could not orr ; and firm in this persuasion, " he did some tilings, in a colonial sphere of action, which would " have been deemed exorbitant in Europe." ***-***-x-***** " He found invincible antagonists in successive governors, all " more or less jealous of the undue influence which he possessed ; " and these, individually, were often kept in countenance by " public sentiment, which veered fitfully for or against the two " absolute masters of the people, lay and spiritual. The complacent " recognition of such references to popular feeling seemed to solace " the minds of the colonists somewhat, under the oppression of the '' double yoke they had to bear." io8.

Born in Scotland, October 6th, 1744, came to Montreal at an early age, and engaged successfully in mercantile pursuits ; his integrity and public spirit gained the confidence of :his fellow-citizens, and he was elected their representative in Parliament, He was subse- quently appointed a member of the 1793 Executive Council, and during the war of 1812 was a colonel and brigadier-general of militia. Died in Montreal, December 19, 1813, aged 69. ^ii is ill 32 By his will, he set ap.ixt his estate of Burnside, on the slope of t.ie- Mountain, with a sum of £10,000, for the foundation of a university, one of the colleges of which was to be named the McGill College. But many delays occurred before the university was in a position to enter upon its career of usefulness ; but Mr. McGill's bequest was the foundation upon which, in various ways, has been built up an institution second to none in Canada. Alone, that bequest, munificent as it was, was inadequate to such a result. But it awakened the zeal and stimulated the efforts of others, and pro- duced a kindred generosity whir h has shown itself in many unstinted contributions. 53. McLeod, Archibald Norman. Pastel.

Engraved by W. Warner, Philadelphia., from a painting by A. Bradish, Oil painting and engraving. ' 8ir Charles Metcalfe served his country in various positions in India with distinguished ability for thirty-seven years. He sub- sequently was appointed Governor of Jamaica, which he resigned to return to England for the purpose of obtaining medical advice, and left the island May 20th, 1842. In the same year, declining health compelled Sir Charles Bagot to resign the governor-general- ship of Canada, a position which had become so troublesome that few could be found to undertake it, and Sir Charles Metcalfe's nar ., was presented and he yielded to the solicitations of the Minidtry. The entire term of his governorship was marked by the most violent political strife, during which, it is said, " it was amusing to mark the calmness of Sir Charles Metcalfe." To his steadfastness of purpose, he perhaps sacrificed his life. He would not resign his appointment when the absence of toil and anxiety might have alleviated the terrible disease with which he was afflicted ; but, true to his principles, he maintained his post, ex- posing himself to the bitter shafts of party malevolence. 33 MiONAULT, Rev.

Born on the 15th August, 1787, at Sidehead in VVeredale, County of Durham, Er gland. Arrived in Canada at an early age and entered business in Montreal in 1811. In his public character was a volunteer in 1812 ; 1881 called to Legislative Council by the Earl of Aylmor. Leader of the English party in Lower Canada, on death of Hon. Richard Richardson. At the Union he sat for Mon- treal till 1847. J06. MoLSON, Honorable John (i). Born i-jS^, Died i%^6. Born in England, and came to Canada in 1782 ; having deter- mined to remain in Montreal, he founded the brewery, which has been continued by his descendants down to the present time. In 1809 (only two years later than Fulton launched his first steamboat on the Hudson), the first step towards steam navigation of the St. Lawrence, was taken by Mr. Molson. He went to Eng- land and brought out engineers and other workmen, with such parts of the machinery as could not be made in Canada. The first vessel placed upon the river was the Accommodation, a small boat 72 feet in length, and propelled by an engine built by Mr. Jackson, of not more than six horse power. In 1811, the Smjtmre was launched by Mr. Molson, and in the following year did service in the transport of troops and stores during the war. These vessels were placed on the route between Montreal and Quebec, and were soon after replaced with the Mahhnm, Lady Sherbrooke, and others of superior tonnage and ipower. Later in life, Mr. Molson became president of *h(i Bank of Mont- real, at a time of great commercial difficulty, from which period the bank has steadily progressed until it has attained its present high position among bunking institutions. Mr. Molson was also a member of the Executive Council of Lower Canada. 307. Molson, Honorable John. (2.) Son of the foregoing, born in Montreal, in 1787. He was connocted with his father in all his enterprises. At a later period, when railroads were introduced, Mr. Molson took an active part in their introduction into Canada, and was President of the first opened in the Province (the St. Lawrence and Champlain), of which he continued a Director until his death. Nor was ho less active in advancing the interests of our monetary institutions. He became a Director of the Bank of Montreal, but retired to make room for 3 it 34 his father at the period already referred to. Resuming his seat at the Board on the retirement of his father from the Presidency, he remained as a Director till 1853, when, in connection with hi» brothers, Thomas and William, he established the Molson's Bank. When the Special Council replaced the Parliament, in 1837, he was called to a seat in it. He, however, never desired to enter public life. He preferred to take part without ostentation in every effort towards developing the resources, and to aid in the advance- ment, of his native city. Having shouldered his musket in 1837,he, with many other loyal men, felt keenly the passing of the Rebellion Losses Bill, and was one of the signers of the famous Annexation manifesto, a proceeding for which he was deprived of his com- missions of Justice of the Peace and Colonel of the Militia ; the offers afterwards made by Government to reinstate him, he respectfully declined. As a private citizen, Mr. Molson was highly esteemed. The cause of education and philanthropy ever found him a friend, and, indeed, there is scarcely an important educational or charitable institution in Montreal with which his name was not connected. The Molson Chair, in the McGill College, endowed by the liberality of the three brothers, may be specially mentioned as an instance of munificence and public spirit. As a Governor for many years of the Montreal General Hospital, from the Presidency of which he retired shortly before his death, his zeal will be long remembered. He died in Montreal ,July 12th, 1860, in his 73rd year. 657. MoNCKTON, Honorable Robert, {Lieutenant-General.') He led one of the divisions at the battle of the Plains of Abraham, September 13th, 1759, and the command should have fallen upon him when General Townshend proceeded to England, had it not been for his wound, and his having to seek a more genial climate. He did not return to Canada, but became Governor and Commander-in-Chief of New York. Died May 3rd, 1732. 15. MoNGEON, Charles — 1801-1841. Oil painting. One of the Sons of Liberty. His entire establishment at St. Athanase d'Iberville was burnt 1837. 13. MoNGEON, Rosalie Davignon. Oil painting. Born 1811. Widow of Captain Charles Mongeon. Entered the Convent of Jesus-Marie at Longueuil, 1841. 27. Montcalm De Saint Veran, Louis Joseph, born 17 12, died 1759. Oil painting. Celebrated as a brave and intrepid military officer, and as the 35 last commander of tlie French troops in America previous to the conquest of Canada. He entered the army when 14 years of age, and served in Italy as early as 1734 ; he distinguished himself in Germany during the war for the Austrian succession ; he was again in Italy, and gained the rank of Colonel at the battle of Piacenza (1746). In 1756, being then a Brigadier-General, he was appointed to command the French troops in Canada; he was dis- tinguished for the masterly manner in which he executed the command conferred upon him, and, particularly, for the stout and resolute resistance which he made to the English, under Wolfe, in 1759, when they attacked the city of Quebec. He had conducted his operations against the English with great activity and success, and had made himself master of Fort Ontario, at Oswego, and Fort William Henry, at the head of Lake George, and thus became possessed of 42 guns and large stores of ammunition and provisions, which were invaluable to his almost destitute army. Scarcity of food had been one of his chief difficulties ; the harvest in Canada had failed, and the French Government was reluctant to send out supplies, which were hable to be captured by the English cruisers. In the campaign of 1757, Montcalm occupied the strong position of Ticonderoga ; he made it still stronger by entrenchments, in constructing which he worked with the common soldiers, and at the head of about 3,600 men, awaited the attack of over fifteen thousand. After a fierce battle, the English retreated in disorder. The personal bravery which Montcalm had evinced, increased his popularity among the soldiers ; and, it is believed by many, that if he had received timely reinforcements, he could have held out for a much longer period ; but the want of energy on the part of the home government, the scarcity of food, and personal dissensions between the Governor and the military commander, forbade him to look for much assistance ; and, in the midst of victory, he expressed his conviction that in a few montlis the English would be masters of the French Colonies in America. Resolved, however, to struggle to the last, he actively prepared for the campaign of 1759. The success of the whole campaign, or, more properly, the conquest of Canada, depended upon the taking of Quebec, and to protect it. Montcalm had concentrated his principal force on the banks of the Montmorenci River. Being attacked in front by General Wolfe, on July 31st, he repelled him with considerable loss- Wolfe then changed his plans ; he landed his troops by night, above Quebec, climbed the table-land that overhangs the city, and on the morning of 13th September, 1759, appeared with his whole force on the Heights of Abraham, in the rear of the French army. Montcalm led the attack in person, but his troops broke before the deadly fire and tmflinching front of the British ; and, when Wolfe gave the order to charge with bayonets. i; 36 the French fled in every direction. The gallant British General fell in the moment of triumph. Montcalm was mortally wounded a few moments after Wolfe was borne from the field. On being told that his death was near : " So much the better," he said, " I shall not live to see the surrender of Quebec." He died next morning, and his death was followed by the loss of all Canada, where his career " had been a wonderful struggle gainst inexorable destiny." He was buried in the Ursuline Convent at Quebec. 583. MoNTBNAOH, FoETUNfc Chaeles de — Miniature.

William Osgoode was born in March, 1754, and at the early age of fifteen was admitted a commoner of Christ Church College, Oxford, and became M. A. in 1777. He selected law as a profession and was called to the bar, but being more studious of propriety than volubility of speech, never became distinguished as a pleader. •But the accuracy of his professional information, and the sound- .ness of his judgment, could not escape notice ; and the new colony of Upper Canada having been established in 1791, Mr. Osgoode was appointed, in the following year, to go out as Chief Justice of that Province, for which he sailed in April, 1792, in the same ship with General Simcoe, the Lieutenant-Governor. It was probably owing to the friendly regard to General Simcoe, that the name of 'Osgoode has obtained a local establishment in Upper Canada, ihaving been conferrtJ upon a township in Dundas county, and .also given to the seats of law at Toronto. The conduct of Mr. •Osgoode as Chief Justice was so much approved, that in a short time he was nominated to the same office in the Province of Que- bec. He obtained universal esteem by the independent steadiness and firmness of his conduct, as well as by ability and integrity in his judicial office. In 1801 he resigned his office, and retired to England, where he died in 1824. Slavery in Canada was abolished, in Upper Canada in 1793, and a few years eubsequently, Justice Osgoode, at Montreal, declared slavery to be " incompatible with the laws of the country." III.

Plessis, JosKPH Octave, Bishop of Quebec. Engraving. The most able man who has occupied the Roman Catholic Episcopal seat at Quebec since Bishop Laval. He was the first Canadian bishop who visited Rome, and the first appointed by the crown to be a member of the Legislative Council. He was born at Montreal, on March 3rd, 1762, and, according to Mr. Ryland, was the son of a blacksmith. He was ordained a priest at Quebec, March 11th, 1786. On September 6th, 1797, he was created coadjutor to Bishop Denault, and obtained the royal acceptance through General Prescott; but the venerable Pontifi", Pius VI., having been dragged into captivity by the Sans-culottes ; after his death, the church remained for some time without a chief. The nomination became one of the first acts of Pius VII. He succeeded Monsigneur Den- ault, and took possession of his t^eat on the 17th January, 1806. He was altogether loyal, firm, of good policy, with an ability much needed in his relations with certain rulers. The British govern- ment hesitated to place in him that confidence which he after- wards acquired. He was called by the crown to the Legislative Council ir 1818; and in this honorable position he proved himself to be a loyal and patriotic Senator. He left Canada for England and Rome in 1819- In consideration of eminent services which he had rendered to- England during the Irench Revolution, and the war of 1812, he met with a kind and hearty reception from Lord Bath u rat. He returned to Quebec on 16th August, 1820, and was received with demonstrations of respect and affection. Bishop Plessis died at the General Hospital at Quebec, on December 5th, 1826, aged 63 years. He was buried on the 7th, with all religious and civil hoDors; the troops of the garrison lining the road of the funeral procession, and Lord Dalhousie following with his staff" and the principal men of rank in the province, and an immense concourse of people, who all wished to express the high opinion they entertained of the zeal, charity and loyalty for which he was not more conspicuous, than he was for talents which adorned the important office he had discharged so- ably since 1806. 42 739- I'li-ssis, (du) Francois Xavikr, y Quoon's Bench for fJ3 years; during 15 of which he pro-ide.

Mr. Viger's name is bound up inseparably with the history of Lower Canada- He occupied a prominent place in the controversy which led to the outbreak in 1837. He went to England to lay the grievances of the Canadians before the Imperial Parliament. When the rebellion broke out, he was arrested and imprisoned ; he subsequently was returned to the first Parliament of the United Canadas. When Lord Metcalfe quarrelled with his Lafontaine- Baldwin cabinet, Mr. Viger accepted a difficult task in the new Government as Lower Canada leader. He was raised to the Legis- lative Council in 1848, when he continued to sit and vote for some years; but with the fall of the Metcalfe ministry, his political career may be said to have ended He died on February 13th, 1861, and his funeral was one of the largest ever witnessed in Montreal. 531-545.

He entered the army at an early age, and distinguished himself in several engagements. In 1758, Wolfe was sent on the expedition against Cape Breton, in which Boscawen commanded the sea, and Amherst the land, forces, the landing was eflfectftd on the 8th of June, and Louisbourg surrend- ered on the 26th July. Wolfe soon afterwards returned to England* 51 > ♦ In 1759, on the formation of the memorable expedition against Quebec, Wolfe received the rank of major-general, and was placed in command of the land forces, the command of the fleet being entrusted to Admiral Saunders. The expedition arrived at the Isle of Orleans on the 26th June, and the months of July and August were spent in repeated ursuccessful attempts to drive the French from their advantageous post near the Falls of Montmo- rency, and here the English suffered a repulse on attempting to effect a landing. After long waiting an opportunity, Wolfe at last succeeded in effecting a landing above the city, and carrying his forces up the cliff to the Plains of Abraham, thus compelling Montcalm to fight The battle was strenuously contested, but the French at length gave way. Wolfe fell in the hour of victory, and Montcalm also was mortally wounded. 656. WoosTER, David. Engraved by J. Longacre, from an original painting. The general who commanded at Montreal, during its brief occupation by the American troops in 1775-76, His head-quarters were at the old Government hou^e on Notre Dame Street. " Whatever value the French inhabitants may have placed upon " their stone walls, the troops do not appear to ave had much " faith in them as a means of defence, and after the capitulation to " the English, the new rulers paying but little attention to them, "they gradually fell into decay, and when in 1775, Montgomery " and the American troops appeared in front of the town, and " demanded its surrender, the citizens, although knowing full well '•that their ruined walls would prove no defence, determined to " enforce, if possible, the observance of military custom, ere they "surrendered, and while they had neither ammunition, artillery, " troops nor provisions to withstand a siege, they drew up their " own articles of capitulation, which were accepted, and on Novem- " ber 13th 1775, at 9 o'clock, the Continental troops took possession " by the Recollet Gate, only, however, to retain it for a few months, " when the old flag again floated from Citadel Hill." In the library of the American Antiquarian Society at Wor- cester, Maes, there is a large collection of most interesting and valuable historical manuscripts, among them are a number of letters relating to the Expedition against Canada in 1775-76. —the following may be regarded of sufficient interest to be reproduced here: — N.

He was the first, after Jacques Cartier, to attempt the coloniza- tion of New France. He set out in 1542, but his expedition was attended with great misfortune; he returned to France, and In 1547 sailed a second time with a larger exiiedition, accompanied by a number of emigrants, why were destined never to reach thri coun- try in which they intended to settle. They all ijeri^hed, the vessels being wrecked en the voyage. 2. Samuel de Champlain — (^Autograph only.) His name is rendered illustrious in the annals of Canada, from his services in establishing New France, not only in founding the city ^.f Quebec in 1608, but he also selected the sites for Port Royal (AnnaiKiiis), N.S., Three Rivers, and Montreal. He was indefati- gable in spreading civilization, repelling the attacks of the Indians, thus savin.' the lives of the early French settlers ; and also in exploring the country and its valuable resources. He prosecute I his enterprises with constancy, and no dangers could shake his firmness. He was a faithful historian, a voyager who observed everything with attention, skilful in geometry, and an experienced seaman. Ho well merited the title of the Father of New France. He died at Quebec on Christmas Day, 1635. 3. M. De Ckateaufort. At tho death of Champlain, he l)ecame acting Governor of the colony until May, 1636. 4. "A. Charles Hualt De Montmagny — {Autograph only.) He succeeded De ChAteaufort in 1636. During his administra- tion the settlement of Montreal was established. He sought to imitate Champlain's policy with regard to the aborigines; and If the insufficient means at his disposal did not always enable him to carry out his views, he contrived nevertheless, by a union of firm- ness with conciliation, to make his authority respected among all the triljes. He was succeeded by D'Ailleboust in 1647. 5. M. Louis D'Ailleboust. He succeeded De Montmagny as Governor of the colony. ■,■ f ^ t H» • i 61 originally came to Canada with colonists for the Island of Mont- real. He administered that settlement during the absence of M. de Maisonneuve, and was afterwards promoted to the government of Three Rivers. Replaced in 1651, he settled in the country, and died at Quebec in 1660. 6. Jean de Laizon. He was one of the principals of Richelieu's company, and suc- ceeded M. D'Ailleboust. The affairs of the colony were not very promising, the Iroquois were increasing in audacity and harassing the French at all points. So dangerously beset was the eettlo- ment at Montreal, that De Maisonneuve, the local Governor, went to France in search of succour, whence he returned in 1653 with a reinforcement of 105 men. A succession of changes now took place in the goveruoent ; De Lauzon was succeeded by his son, V ho in turn gave wiiy to the former governor, D'Ailleboust, who n-as superseded in 1058 by Viscount D'Argenson. 7. Pierre de Voyer D'Argenson (Viscount D'Argenson). The day after he landed, the Iroquois massacred some Algon- quins under the very guns of Quebec, and escaped from the 200 French who were sent in pursuit. He retained his appointment until 1661. His government seems to have consisted of little else than barbaric invasions, and civil and religious quarrels. Disease and misunderstandings compelled him to solicit his recall. Ho died about the year 1709. «. Pierre du Bois, Baron D'Avaugour. He succeeded D'Argenson, in 1661. He was of a resolute tem- perament and brought into the aflFairs of Canada the rigidity that he had contracted in the military service ; and during the whole time he held office in New France, he had constant disputes with Bishop Laval, principally with reference to the liquor traffic, which the latter wished to prohibit. At length, through the Bishop's re- presentations, D'Avaugour was recalled in 1663. 9. Augustin deSaffrav-Mesv. Was appointeil in 1663. He was a man of haughty and obstinate teini)er, and having quarrelled with his Council, betook upon him- self to send back to France two of its principal members— an arbi- trary act which procured his own recall in 1(565. He died at Quebec, however, before the dispatch arrived. The Marquis dk Tracy arrived at Quebec in 1665, as Viceroy and Lieutenant-General ; Dh Coukckllss was named undsr him as Governor, and J ban Talon as Intendant The Viceroy brought with him the Carignan regiment and a large body of settlers. J ft Prompt measures wore taken against the Iroquois, and three fort» were erected on the Richelieu, so as to cover the French settle- ments—one at Sorel, one at Chambly, and the third nine mile» higher up the river. Most of the officers of the Carignan regiment settled in i^he country, and received grants of land with seignorial tenure from the King. Havin;; placed the colony in a state of defence, the Viceroy re- turned home in 1667, leaving 10. Daniel de Rsmy Dii Courcelles, At the head of the Government. Before his leaving, De Tracy had concluded a peace with the Indians, which lasted for eighteen years, and during his term of office tra.de monopoly was abolished. De Courcelles, by skilful diplomacy, averted a threatened Indian war. He had fixed upon Cataraqui, near the present site of Kings- ton, Ont., as an eligible point for the erection of a fort for the pro- tection of the fur traders and to check Indian incursions. He visited the spot in person, but was so much injured in health by exposure and hardship, that on his return to Quebec he desired to be relieved from the burden of office in 1672. 11. Louis de Buade, Count de Paluan and De Frontenac. Assumed the government in 1672. He caused the fort at Cataraqui to be built immediately, and gave it his own name, Frontenac. During this administration an extensive scheme of exploration was planned by the Intendant Talon. Frontenac was a bold and valorous soldier and a most successful administrator, but principally on account of some despotic acts, he was recalled in 1682. In 1689, he was reappointed governor, and in 1690, he defeated Sir William Phipps and the English fleet before Quebec, thus achieving a great victory, in commemoration of which Louis XIV ordered a medal to be struck. He died in 1698, and was inhumed in the RecoIIet Church at Quebec, which no longer exists. 12. M. Le Febvre de I.a Barre. In 1682 M. de La Barre arrived as Governor, and M. de Meules as Intendant. His general management of affairs was extremely bad, and in consequence of dissatisfaction felt at hi8 want of suc- cess he was recalled in 1685, and he left the province without regret. 13. Jacques Ren^ de Brisav, Marquis db Denonville. Governor from 1685 to 1689. He was specially selected on ao> count of his distinguished valour. Doubtless he was bravb, but he w«^ liable to receive wrong impressions of affairs, and an imperfect II !l ' 14. 15- 63 knowledge of the relations subsisting between the French and the savage races, led him to commit acts which violated the principles- of equality. He kidnapped a number of Indian chiefs, and sent Ihem to France to work in the galleys, at a time when they were bound on a peaceful mission to himself. He thus excited against himself and the French a spirit of hate and detestation in the heart of the red men — a feeling which culminated in the frightful " Mas- sacre of Lachine"— 1400 Iroquois laid v.aste the island of Montreal, slaughtering all who opposed them, and carrying off 200 prisoners. Denonville had a speculative, rather than an energetic mind, and was not prompt in action. Few go rornors ever set down more sago- maxims for administration, yet fewer left it in a sadder plight. At this crisis, French Canada was virtually reduced to the forts at Montreal, Three Rivers, and Quebec, with the post at Tadoupsac. When affairs were at this extremity, the government was en- trusted for the second time to the experienced hands of the Count DB Fro.wenac, who returned from France in 1689, bringing with him the Iroquois chiefs whom his predecessor had so basely en- trapped. By restoring these captives, the Indians were for a time- pacified, and his defeat of the English fleet under 8ir William Phipps, {see ante) in a great measure restored the influence of the French. Louis Hector de Callieres. {Autograph only.) In 1698, the veteran Frontenac died at Quebec, aged 78, and/ was succeeded by M. de Callieres, Commandant of Montreal. In- 1701, a temporary pacification and alliance of all the Indian tribes- was effected by him. In the same year the war of the Spanish Succession broke out in Europe, and England soon conceived the design of annexing to herself the whole of tlie North American Ck)ntinent. De Callieres held the appointment of governor until his death :it Quebec in 1703. Philippe de Ri aud. Marquis de Vaudreuil. On the death o.i' De Callifiree, the colonists petitioned for the appointment of the Marquis de Vaudreuil, which Louis xrv willing- ly granted. He first came to Canada several years earlier as com- mander of the forces, bringing with him 800 men. With 300 of these he went to the relief of the "Massacre of Lachine," and also served under De Frontenac in the grand expedition against the Iroquois. In 1690, he was engaged in the defence of Quebec, against the attack of Admiral Phipps. In 1702, he obtained a seigniory, and was appointed Governor of Montreal. He was married at Quebec, to the daughter of Chevalier de Soulanges ; this marriage was viewed with diseatisfaction by the French ministry, who did not wish him , nor any of the governors, to ally 64 themselves with the colonists. After the act.-ession of Louis xv, he effected numerous reforms in the colony, the most important bein<; an improvement in education. In 1714—16, the government was administered by Olaude do Ramezay, during the absence of Vaudreuil. After a rule of twenty-two years, Vaudreuil died at Quebec on October 10th, 1725, universally regretted by the people of the colony. His administration was marked, for the most part, with tranquillity, and his measures, whether civil or military, were crowned with success. :i6. Charles, Marquis de Ueauharnois. Sncceetled M. de Vaudreuil in the government in 1726; the Bauon de Losgueuil hiving acted as administrator in the inter- val since the death of Vaudreuil, Beauharnois held the office for more than twenty years, and during that long and eventful period, he diligently promoted the interests of the colony — although inun- dations and earth-quakes, dearth, famine, war and sickness pre- vailed, and had to be contended with, the French ministry tiad never cause either to reproach him for remissness of duty, or correct him in his general administration of affairs, except once, when he took part in a quarrel between the clergy, arising out of the burial of Bishop de Vallifires. In consequence of the inroads which the Outagamis wore making on the unprotected colonists, he found it necessary to take steps to chock them. A small ex- pedition was organised, composed of the colonists, who pursued the savages as far as where the city of Chicago now stands, and to the Mississippi. They mot with the Indians and signally defeated them, well nigh exterminating the tribe. When war was declared between England and France, and the conquest of Canada and the other French colonies was resolved on by the former, and when only a feeble force was at his disposal, Beauharnois strengthened the several weak positions of the coun- try, and founded the impregnable Crown Point, By his entreaties he prevailed on the Ministry to send an exiwlition to recapture CapQ Breton and to drive the Knglish from the West Indies. Had this exhibition been coinmandeil by a comiwtent officer, great damage would certainly have been done to the English forces both by land and eea. As it happ)ened,the French fleet was annihilated by violent storms, which the inexperienced commander (D'Anvi lie) was unable to contend with. Beauharnois was succeeded in 174(i-7 by M. de La Jonquifiro. 1 7. Roland Michel Barrin — Count de la Galisonniere (^Auto- graph only?)

The French were defeated in the engagement which ensued, and the new tiovernor of Canada was taken prisoner. Upon the capture becom- ing known in France, the Count de La Galisonniere was commis- sioned to All the vacancy so created. He administered the Government of New France from 1747 to 1749, during the imprisonment in England of Admiral de La Jonqui^re, and, although ruling for little more than two years, he thoroughly studied the condition of Canada. He was a distinguished marine officer, active, energetic and enlightened as a civilian, and spent in scientific pursuits such leisure as his public duties allowed him. He ^ave a strong impulse to the administration, as well as much good counsel; which, had it been followed, might possibly have preserved Canada for some time longer to France. His administration and scientific talents even surpassed his genius for active war. He died at Nemours, October 26th, 1756. Men of science lost a brother by his decease, for he was a devoteintment by La Galisonni^ro. Ho introduced great reforms in the colony, placed the colonial trooi>* on a par with the European, by constant drilling and study ; he erected forts in the far west for the protection of the country, and he resisted the encroachments of the English and colonial troops. Whether it was that he found the speck of war, which was at the time rising on the horizon, too great a task for him to resist with the means at his disposal, or whether he had some prophetic warning of the ultimate destiny of New France, and so wished to- avoid so great a responsibility, it is not possible to say ; but he solicited his recall on the plea that he wished to return to active duty. 20. Pierre-Francois, Marquis de Vaudreuil-Cavagnal. The last Governor of Canada under French domination, and un- doubtedly one of the best. He was a son of the former governor of the same name, and was born at Quebec in 1698. He wa>^ ap- pointed in compliance with the wishes of the people, who remeru- bered his father's happy administration. In 173:^, he was appointed governor of Three llivers, and in 1743, of Louisiana, in both of which positions he was greatly popular. In 1748, he succeeded to his father's title ; and in 1755, was elevat- ed to the appointment of Governor of New France. Montcalm did not act in concert with him. The jealousy, or rather the contempt,, with which Montcalm regarded M. de Vaudreuil, certainly tended in a great measure, to hasten the downfall of the French rule in America. Vaudreuil was a true Frenchman, bold and energetic in his- measures, and yet wise and judicious in carrying them out. This was clearly manifested when he capitulated to Amherst, notwith- standing the intention of De Levis to hold out with his scanty for- ces to the last ; a determination which Vaudreuil saw was hopeless, and would involve the needless destruction of Montreal, and the loss of many lives. He therefore . piirsued the wisest course, and no one can justly impeach his loyalty or patriotism in so doing. After his return to France, he was imprisoned in the Bastille, oiv Bome charges preferred against him by the friends of Montcalm^ but a trial before the Chdtelet de Paris exonerated him from these, and from all blame in his administration of the affairs of Canada. He was released from imprisonment, but stripped of nearly all hi» worldly possessions. He died in 1764.
