Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Rose of Old Quebec The writer begs the reader well equipped with dates and facts, if such an one should happen to glance over these pages, to overlook certain manifest anachronisms, notably the antedating of the recognition by England of the distinguished services of Lord Nelson; the extending of the activity and usefulness of Sir Joshua Reynolds even beyond the long term of years in which he contributed to British art; and again, what no beautiful woman would be likely to deem an error, the lengthening of the period in which the Duchess of Devonshire reigned as Queen of Beauty in her native land. For these and other inaccuracies, necessitated by the exacting demands of story-telling, the writer claims the indulgence of her readers.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bells of Old Quebec, and Other Poems of New France The subjects treated of in this little book of poems are all french-canadian, and most of them belong to the earliest portion of the history of Canada. All Canadians worthy of the name should study' closely the story of the men and events of early Canada, - the Canada of the French re' gime, which is often called New France. It is, perhaps the most romantic and the most inter esting part of the history of Canada. It takes in a rather long period, for, from the coming of Jacques Cartier in 1534, to the capture of Quebec by the British under 'wolfe, in 1759, there elapsed an interval of 225 years. That is how long the French were in Canada ahead of anybody else. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Stories of Quebec Madame lepine sat alone at the window of no. 62 Rue du Bon Secours in the suburb Of St. Sauveur de Quebec, knitting industriously, but 'at the same time gazing intently down the street. It was near the hour Of eight in the evening, but the long northern twilight had not yet begun to darken the little room. At eight o'clock precisely Philippe would come. For had they not been married the week before, and was not Philippe since three days foreman in the great shipyard of Thibeaudeau Freres, and was it not his privilege to leave the yard at half past seven every evening during this whole month of June? It was two miles, the distance, but he would be with his dear Belvine at eight o'clock without fail. She would have dinner ready for him. It was ready now. After that they would go to walk on the Esplanade. Her fair face lighted up as his step sounded in the distance. Her dark eyes brightened, they even glis tened as she saw him com ing round the corner. She met him at the door. They greeted one another with a kiss. Together they sat down to their frugal meal. There was only soupe aux pois and bread for thefirst course, and wild strawberries and bread for the second, but it was enough. They were not rich. They had nothing but Philippe's daily wage. They had no relations living. They were alone, they two, in the world. But that was no trouble. It was enough that they were together. SO Belvine said and so said also Father Grandmaison, the little cur Of St. Sauveur. St. Sauveur was not a rich par ish as it is now, and Father Grandmaison lived in a very little house. He, too, was poor, but he was their friend. He had gotten Philippe his place at the shipyard. He would also find sale for all the stockings and sashes and tuques that Belvine might knit. For each piece she would get two sous more than any other woman in Quebec, she could knit so well. All was prosperous. There was no trouble; that is, there was only one. There is always one little trouble to keep us from being too happy. It was a debt. It was not a large debt; only three pounds and five shillings. It had been more than that, but Belvine hadpaid already two pounds and ten shillings, her savings for three years, While she had been domestic at the house of one of the rich men of St. Sauveur. It was for her trousseau, of course. That was necessary. Also Philippe had bought a new coat for the ceremony. It was the debt of both and both would pay it. The great house of Laviolette et F ils would wait. M. Laviolette himself had said so. I trust you, mademoiselle, he hadsaid. I knew your father. He was a good man. And Phil ippe, too, he has the heart of gold. Ah, those words How they did cheer the soul Yes, they would pay very soon, perhaps in two months.

Download or read book Crossed Swords written by Mrs. Clement Alloway and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crossed Swords: A Canadian-American Tale of Love and Valor This tale of love and valor is woven around an episode of international history, the fifth siege of Quebec by the Continental troops, under General Richard Montgomery, during the war of the American Revolution. No event chronicled in the annals of the Republic or of the Dominion surpasses it in romantic interest and picturesqueness of detail; and for daring, courage and endurance of hardship, few adventures equal that midwinter attack on what was then an impregnable stronghold. The swords forming the cover design of this volume are reproductions of two of the identical weapons which figured in that notable assault. The one on the left was carried by Sir Guy Carleton, the commander of the Canadian forces, the other by an officer under Colonel Benedict Arnold's command. As the two rusty and trusty old blades now lie peacefully side by side in the picture-gallery of the Chateau de Ramezay, in Montreal, we hope that after a century of peace, the occasion may never arise when the two nations they represent will again cross swords.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec, Vol. 6: Session of 1867-8 and 1868-9 Nor can we regard this as a solitary instance of a large tract of country being for a lengthened period cut oil from the rest of the world and again restored. There are other lands whose existence has for a time faded into the back ground, or been altogether ignored. The Canary Islands, the Insula Fortunatre of the ancients, were explored by that J uba, king of N umidia, of whose voyages an exact account has been given by the elder Pliny. For above a thousand years they seem to have remained unnoticed and unknown their modern history commences with their accidental re-discovery by a French vessel shipwrecked on the coast in the year 1330. The fate of the old Norwegian colony in Greenland is not less Singular. Established in the ninth century of our era, it grew in a short time to 12 parishes, 190 villages, a bishop's see, and 2 convents, under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Drontheim. From accidental causes the communication subsequently ceased, and the Norse settlement in Greenland became unknown to Europe for several centuries, until in 1537 it was re-discovered, and the Danes again established a connexion with the lost colony. So also the interior of North Africa was much better known in the days of Leo Africanus than at present, and his work De Totius Africa: Descriptione.
