Description
Excerpt from The Old Regime in Canada
The means of knowing the Canada of the past are ample. The pen was always busy in this out post of the Old monarchy. The king and the min ister demanded to know every thing; and officials of high and low degree, soldiers and civilians, friends and foes, poured letters, despatches, and memorials, on both sides of every question, into the lap Of government. These masses Of paper have in the main survived the perils of revolutions and the incendiary torch of the Commune. Add to them the voluminous records of the Superior Council of Quebec, and numerous other documents preserved in the civil and ecclesiastical depositories of Canada.
