About this book
The volume is respectfully inscribed to the citizens of Quebec. The preface says the volume purports to be a sequel to "Quebec Past and Present," published in 1876, and is intended to complete the history of the city. The preface says new and interesting details will be found in these pages about the locality where Samuel de Champlain located his settlement in 1608.
A section headed The Upper Town says that in 1617 the chase had doubtless to give way to tillage of the soil, when the first resident of the Upper Town, the apothecary Louis Hébert, established his hearth and home there. The text says the parlor in the Asyle Champêtre was well known to the élite and leaders of society of that day, and was furnished elegantly, but not luxuriously. The text says George Allsop, a British merchant, came from England to this country in the last century with Thomas Aylwin, grandfather of Judge Thos. Cushing Aylwin.
