We have also seen what a remarkable chain of circumstances led to his appointment as first Governor of Montreal. One might almost consider it miraculous. He laid the foundations of the new city, under the patronage of the Blessed Virgin--naming it Ville-Marie, City of Mary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
