Old Quebec, the city of Champlain
()
About this ebook
Samuel do Champlain was born in 1570, or possibly a year or two earlier, at Brouag'e, then a busy little seaport on the Bav of Biscay - now a mouldering hamlet. This book examines this transformation and takes readers on a journey of the past and present of Old Quebec during Weaver's time near the turn of the century.

FOREWORD
Harebells.
THIS little book aspires, neither to the utility of a guide-book, nor to the dignity of a history. It is designed rather as a reminder of the great events which have given to the old city of Quebec a world-wide fame; and with this object in view, many of the illustrations have been copied from old prints and drawings. With the exception of a photograph of his painting of Wolfe, kindly lent by J. W. L. Forster, Esq., and the two photographs on page 57,[1] taken by James Ritchie, Esq., of Quebec, the remainder of the illustrations are largely the result of a pleasant summer in that quaintest part of the Dominion—once the heart of New France
—where picturesque old-world customs still linger amongst the modern fashions of this practical century.
HE figure of the founder of Quebec rises in history, strong and effective, above an ever-changing environment of turmoil and unrest and strife, as to-day his great statue stands in motionless dignity above the shifting crowds of pleasure-seekers and tourists who flit about the Terrace
at Quebec.
Take him when you will; tossing in a cockleshell on the mountainous rollers
