Publisher's Synopsis
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.
