New York Copyright, 1904. by Williams-Barker Co. Printed in the United States of America v^ 1— J — 7./ SPECIAL INTRODUCTION The history of Western Civilization be- gins in a conflict with the Orient, a conflict of which it maybe the end is not yet. But the routes between East and West have been trodden by the caravans of trade more often even than by the feet of armies. The treasures of the East were long brought overland to Alexandria, or Constantinople, or the cities of the Levant, and thence dis- tributed to Europe by the galleys of Genoa or of Venice. But when the Turk placed himself astride the Bosporus, and made Egypt his feudatory, new routes had to be found. In the search for these were made the three greatest voyages in history, those of Columbus, of Vasco da Gama, and greatest of all—of Magellan. In his search for the riches of Cipangu Columbus stumbled upon America. The great Genoese lived and died under the il- lusion that he had reached the outmost verge of Asia ; and though even in his life- time men realized that what he had found :was no less than a new world, America 5444:61 INTRODUCTION was long looked on as an unwelcome ob- stacle of unknown extent across the path of the Eastern trader. Farther and far- ther men ranged the coast, seeking into every bay and estuary, in the vain hope that the South Sea might open to their gaze. To southwards, Magellan found a strait, but the journey was long and dan- gerous, and open only to the ships of Spain. To northwards France took up the search, and it was in quest of the Orient that Jacques Cartier put out from St. Malo. For a moment Chaleur Bay seemed to liim the strait of his dream, but soon he came to its end, "whereof we were much torn with grief," he says in his quaint old French. On his next voyage he went in vain up the St. Lawrence as far as Mon- treal ; but the terrors of a Canadian winter, with its attendant scurvy, and the still greater horrors of the Wars of Religion, for the next half-century restricted the French to fishing voyages to Newfound- land and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. With the Peace of Vervins and the Edict b£ Nantes in 1598, France had rest from for- eign and civil strife, and turned again to the nobler task of exploration. This was the quest to which the sea-captain of Brouage, Samuel de Champlain, gave the ii INTRODUCTION best years of his life, "always travelling with an hungry heart," with the great South Sea ever a day's journey in advance. Tired at last, he gave himself up to estab- lish on the rock of Quebec a station from which his successors might fare forth. In his search for the South Sea he had been the first great explorer of Canada, and this series of 'Trail Makers of the North" appropriately begins with his undaunted name. As the new world opened out, the search for the Orient took a second place. Even in the days of Champlain, his partners thought chiefly of trade with the natives^ and in the next two centuries a series of great fur-trading companies, English and French, took toll of the country, and pushed ever farther west and north. Among these, too, there were great-hearted dreamers, men who "yearned beyond the sky-line where the strange roads go down," and of such was Alexander Mackenzie. His great voyage to the mouth of the mighty river which bears his name was made in 1789; four years later he had pierced the Rockies, and come out upon the shores of the Pacific ; first of white men to cross the continent by land, the Highland Scot had made true the dream of Champlain. iii INTRODUCTION As the West revealed its vastness, men gave themselves to its exploration. An- other great fur-trader, indefatigable as Mac- kenzie, was the New Englander, Daniel Williams Harmon. If his voyages did less for geography, they tell us even more of the manners and customs of the old lords of the prairies, ere yet Canada had entered upon the experiment of seeking to make in the West a great civilization from the off- scourings of Europe. To these records has been added "The Wild North Land," a journal of the youth- ful travels of the late General Sir William Butler. The record of his adventures adds hardly less than Harmon to our knowledge of a vanishing race, and also shows that in these later days the hardihood of the Celt is as cheery and as unflinching as in the day of Champlain and of Mackenzie. To the travels of Mackenzie, Harmon and Butler I have contributed short intro- ductions. That to the voyages of Cham- plain is by the late Professor Bourne of Yale, whose premature death is mourned by every student of early American history. W. L. Grant. IV INTRODUCTION Samuel de Champlain was the first ex- plorer to make a detailed examination of the coast of New England and Nova Scotia and to prepare a full and accurate report of his observations. To him, likewise, we are indebted for our earliest exact accounts of the Indians of New England, eastern Canada and New York. To the Canadian he is more than the explorer and the acute observer of the native life ; he is the founder of New France and at the same time the chief of its early historians. To the stu- dent of history to-day, in addition to all this, he stands forth as perhaps the ablest of the earlier makers of America, a leader of in- defatigable energy and sterling character, a Frenchman who devoted his life to extend- ing the name and power of France and the civilizing influences of the Church. His fame is impregnably established and grows with the lapse of time and the extension of knowledge of his work. In view of all these facts it is surprising that his writings have to so slight a degree V INTRODUCTION been accessible to the English reader. His earliest account of the Indians of the St. Lawrence River region, published in Paris in 1604 under the title Des Sauvages, ou, Voyage de Sammuel Champlain de Brouage faict en la France Nouvelle, Van mil six cens trois, was made English and published in Purchas His Pilgrimes, London, 1625. In 1859 the Hakluyt Society brought out an English version of his Brief Discours des choses plus remarquables que Sammuel Champlain de Brouage a reconneues aux hides Occidentalles an voiage qu'il en a faict en iceles en I'annee mil V^. IIII^^ XIX & en I'annee mil Vi'^ I (1598-1601), under the title Narrative of a Voyage to the West Indies and Mexico, i^pg-1602. The original remained unpublished until 1870, when the Abbe Laverdiere published his CEuvres de Champlain. It was not until 1878, some 270 years after his exploration of the New England coast, that New Englanders and others un- familiar with French could read the earliest descriptions of the shores since so rich in historic associations, whose picturesque va- riety of scenery and invigorating air have rendered them familiar and even dear to thousands of fortunate sojourners from every part of our country who have only vi INTRODUCTION this transitory connection with New Eng- land. In that year the Prince Society began the pubhcation, under the learned edi- torial care of Reverend Edmund F. Slafter, of an English translation of all of Cham- plain's narratives of explorations on the New England coast, in New York, and in Canada down to the year 1617, when his activity in exploration gave place to efforts to build up Quebec. The translation was entrusted to a highly competent scholar, the late Charles Pomeroy Otis, at that time Professor of Modern Languages in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The translation, the editorial notes and the biog- raphy of Champlain by Mr. Slafter, formed a whole which was highly honorable to American scholarship and imposed lasting obligations upon every student of Cham- plain's career. Yet the edition was strictly limited and is now to be found only in the richer public or private collections of Americana. Equally scarce and expensive is Laverdiere's collected edition of Cham- plain's works in the original. It remains true, then, even after all the loving labors that Laverdiere, Slafter and Otis have devoted to the publication and elucidation of Champlain's writings, that they are still a closed book to that rapidly vii INTRODUCTION growing body of readers who are interested in the original narratives of the explorers, the earliest observations of the Indians as yet uncontaminated by contact with Euro- peans, and the local history of New England and Canada. No more fitting addition, therefore, to The Trailmakers' Series could be made than a satisfactory popular edition of Champlain's own narrative of his ex- plorations.

    FROM THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA THIRD SERIES—1914 VOLUME vin An Organization of the Scientific Investigation of the Indian Place«nomenclatiire of the Maritime Provinces of Canada by W. F. GANONG. M.AHBb.E OTTAWA PRINTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 19 14 Transactions of The Royal Society of Canada SECTION II SERIES III DECEMBER 1914 VOL. VIII An Organization of the Scientific Investigation of the Indian Place- nomenclature of the Maritime Provinces of Canada, (Fourth Paper). By W. F. GANONG, M.A., Ph.D. (Read by Title May 27, 1914.) This paper is identical in aim and method with its three pre­ decessors, which were published in the immediately foregoing volumes of these Transactions. In a word, I am trying to apply the principles of scientific analysis to a very interesting subject especially prone to doubt and error. The comparative method which I use, explained in the introduction to the first paper, is proving wonderfully successful in solving the problems, as this paper will further illustrate. For convenience of reference I may add that the former papers made analysis of the names Oromocto, Magaguadavic, Upsalquitch, Manan, Nepisiguit, Kouchibouguac, Anagance, Wagan, Pokiok, Penniac, Bocabec, Pentagoet-Penobscot, Pohenegamook, and Cobs- cook, and used the roots thus made available in the analysis of a good many other words, both existent and extinct, of lesser importance. Of these extinct Indian names,—indigenous to the country, ap­ propriate to the places, and often reducible to a highly pleasing form, —the greater number may be revived to obvious advantage when additional place-names become needed in future; and I have tried to suggest simplified and softened forms for such purpose.

  • The Rise and Fall of New France / by Prof. Frederick J. Turner
    AN UNFAMILIAR ESSAY BY FREDERICK J.TURNER Quite early In his professional career Professor Turner evinced an Interest in immigration problems, historically considered, as a particular aspect of his central interest — the study of the territorial advance of the American popula­ tion. In the course of a review of Roosevelt's Winning of the West, In 1889 Turner wrote: To this valley, also, have come migrations from the Old World such as can be compared only with the great Wandering of the Peoples — the Volkerwanderung — of the Middle Ages. A new composite na­ tionality is being produced, a distinct American people, speaking the English tongue, but not English.^ Once his period of apprenticeship was completed—It ter­ minated when Johns Hopkins conferred the doctorate In 1890 — Turner seized the opportunity of planning research projects In this inviting field. As his seminar topic for the college year 1890—91, he selected the study of immigration into Wisconsin.^ Turner's approach to the subject was broad and philosophical. Wisconsin had been rocked by controversies between natives and foreign-born, the latter strongly resenting the enactment of the Bennett Law, which prescribed that all schools in the state should give a portion, of their Instruction In the English language. To the schol­ ar's mind it was clear that immigration, historically treated, opened the gate to a better understanding between native and foreigner. Toward the close of 1891 Turner published an essay on the "Philosophy of History," in the course of which he took occasion to remark: "^The Dial (Chicago), 10:71 (August, 1889).

Fagan Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________ Chairperson Benjamin C. Sax ________________________________ Luis Corteguera ________________________________ Steven Epstein ________________________________ George Gale _________________________________ Geraldo Sousa Date Defended: 12 May 2015 The Dissertation Committee for Ryan R Fagan certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Re-grounding the Cogito: Descartes and the Problem of the Baroque __________________________ Chairperson Benjamin C. Sax Date approved: 15 May 2015 ii Abstract: The dissertation offers a historically-based critique of the foundations of modernity in view of the truth claims it struggled to articulate and which continue to dominate the West.At the very core of this problem are the natural sciences, and it is from them that the dominant definition of truth in modernity emanates. Since the entrenchment of the Enlightenment in the eighteenth century, this definition has extended into an entire "worldview" occasioning and determining the modern mode of existence. I argue that to understand the modern foundation of science and truth (and by extension, medicine and all theoretically grounded bodies of knowledge), it is necessary to turn once again to Descartes' seminal role in the histories of philosophy and science. Recognizing Descartes' philosophy as a conceptual point of departure, I give a critical re-reading of his formulation of the Ego cogito-ego sum not only within the internal history of metaphysics (of which science is a part), but as a cultural-historical phenomenon.

  • Support for Delineation of Inner Bay of Fundy Salmon Marine Critical Habitat Boundaries in Minas Basin and Chignecto
    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Maritimes Region Science Response 2015/035 SUPPORT FOR DELINEATION OF INNER BAY OF FUNDY SALMON MARINE CRITICAL HABITAT BOUNDARIES IN MINAS BASIN AND CHIGNECTO BAY Context In April 2014, the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Species at Risk Management Division (SARMD) in the Maritimes Region requested information from DFO Science to assist with the delineation of boundaries for critical habitat (CH) being considered for Inner Bay of Fundy (IBOF) Atlantic Salmon within Chignecto Bay and Minas Basin, specifically: to assist with the delineation of the boundary between estuarine and marine habitat for several large, tidal estuaries (i.e., Petitcodiac River, Avon River, Salmon River Colchester, Shubenacadie River estuary and Cumberland Basin). DFO Science had previously provided advice on the characteristics and general location of important marine and estuarine habitat for IBOF salmon (DFO 2008; DFO 2013); however, additional information was requested to assist in delineating the precise boundaries of important marine habitat within Chignecto Bay and Minas Basin in order to subsequently propose, describe and map these as CH within an amended Recovery Strategy for IBOF salmon. Once identified in the Recovery Strategy, measures will be taken to protect this marine CH under the Species at Risk Act (SARA). This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process of 11 July 2014 on Support for Delineation of Inner Bay of Fundy Salmon Marine Critical Habitat Boundaries. Background The inner Bay of Fundy populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are listed as Endangered under the Species at Risk Act, and SARA requires the identification of CH for endangered species within a Recovery Strategy (or Action Plan).
