Canadian Types Of The Old R Gime

Excerpt from Canadian Types of the Old Régime: 1608-1698 The chapters of this book represent lectures which were delivered recently in Ottawa before the May Court Club. They contain no new mate rial, and use with freedom the works of others. At the same time historical facts can be employed in a large number of different combinations, and here the life of Canada during the Old Régime is approached by a route which as yet seems not to have been followed. The author's aim is to dis cuss various aspects of French colonisation, with out at any point straying far from the concrete. To secure distinctness the examples have been drawn, chapter by chapter, from some one career. Or rather, a single personage has been made the representative of a class, and in considering the large subject with which he is connected, certain features of his experience are rendered promi nent. But this method does not involve the exact portraiture of individuals, nor does it exclude minor figures from the field of the discussion.
