(This volume consists of 394 folios, say, 500 pages.) " Canada.— Correspondance G^n^jrale." 1741. YoL. 111.— St. Maurice Forges. {This volume consists of 305 folios, say 400 pages.} ** Canada. — Correspondance G^nerale." 174l-17ti0. YoL. 112.— St. Maurice Forges. (This volume consiste of 342 folio.«, say 450 pp.) After a careful examination of the three preceding volvmes, I came to the conclusion that they must be copied '• im extenso." At a first glance, many of the papers contained in these volumes, which are merely statements of accounts, might, to a careless enquirer, appear to be of no utility. But closer examination will reveal in nearly each and all of them names of persons, certain interesting little facts, curious details calculated to throw light on the history of Three Rivers and which will gladden the heart of my friend Suite, ^nd, moreover, do they not embcdy the history of one of the most important of the industries of the early days of Canada, one of tvhich, vp to this time, but littl" is known. An analysis of all these details relating to the administration of the St. Maurice Forges would have taken too much time, and I am compelled to give in few words a summary of what they contain, insisting meantime on the expediency of having them copied in full. As to volumes 113, 114, 115, US, 117, life and IV>, tohich contain details of " General Expenditure " of the colony from U63 to 1764, it is easy to see at the outset that they lack historical interest; more especially in view of the fact that in each of the first 105 volumes of this series (Correspondance Ginirale) J have tahen care to quote and. set down as to be copied the letters of the Governors, and e^'pecially of the Intendants, which deal m a general way with the revenue and expendi' ture of la Fouvelle France from its first establithnent up to 1760. Each of these letters gives a yearly summary of the financial situation of the Administration of the country, and affords ampk material for future economists, who may be tempted to deal with that branch of our history ; and I feel quite sure that I am not hiding under the bushel measure anything calculated to give light to anyone when I relegate to the shade the seven volumes just mentioned. Next comes, under the title : " Canada, Corbkspondance Gf n6- BALE, Vol. 120," a carton endorsed: "Marine et Colonifs. KOUVELLE France. PERSONtiJEL MILITAIRE ET CIVIL. PERSONNEL oollectif. Noblespe du Canada, &c , Vol. 120. c. 11." The first package of this ''carton" consists wholly of abstracts made in France of letters and petitions of officers or citizens, ecclesiastics or communities in Canada, asking in some cases for the cross of St. Louis or promotions, in others for trading licenses, gratuities or pensions. This series, which is not paged, forms in all 460 small pages, or say {for copying) 230 pp. ccxxxv The second package endorsed : " Noblesse du Canada," contains a small cahier of 61 pages giving the list of persons raised to nobility in Canada from I710"
