ADVERTISEMENT" THE compiler·0£ the QUEBEC DIRECTORY, in presentin-g it to the Public, begs leave to remark, that although aware of many di·fficulties he had to encounter, others' unforeseen by himself or ofriends arose, which considerably retarded its 'Completion. Obstacles were in -some few instan­ ces, thrown in his way which required the great­ -cst activity and perseverance to overcome. How far he has succ€eded in removing those obstacles and making the work uceptable, the public alone will be able to decide. In order to make a DIRBCTORY of this City useful, it i~, (and ever will be,) necessary to pub­ lish it by the first of J un~. 'Bhis necessity has caused the <:ompiler labour mId difficulty almost incredible. Upwards of three hundred removals has takenploc.esince ,the first of May. These he has endeavoured to correct. That there are errors he will not pretend to deny; but he con­ fidently trusts, few willbe found taking into cob­ sideration the number 'Of names he has inserted. VI Every attention has been paid to the authc­ graphy of the French names, by persons compe­ tent to the task. A plan of the City and part of the Suburbs has been procured at a considerable expence ; and the engraving although plain and simple has been pronounced correct. In particularizing the numbers of the houses, no regard has been paid to those already pla<ed upon them unless found correct. The majority of them are incorrect, but the numbers inserted in the Directory will be found accur.ate when a general numbering takes place. This the pub­ lisher has been led to believe will be done this summer. Those who' may be disposed to num­ ber their hou~t':; acconling to the Directory.may depend on their accuracy. In the arrangement of part of this work, are some unavoidable errors, owing to the riecessary information not being received until the work was in the press. A nother year this fault' (if so considered) can easily becorrec.ted. It is like­ wise the intention of the com,piler to make' many useful additions anot her year, if justified in the attempt by support, adequate to the expense. From correct descriptions previously given of the City, extracts have been mad·e with due acknow- . dgement. vii The publisher returns his grateful acknow­ ledgements to his numerous and respectable Pa­ trons, for their encouragement and assistance ; and copfidently hopes the present attempt may be useful to the community, and be attended with succuss.

    L’histoire d’Yamachiche La famille Gugy Cette famille fut très importante pour notre municipalité et la région entière. Le 17 novembre 1980, le conseil municipal désigne une rue du nom de Conrad-Gugy. Conrad, né à La Haye au Pays-Bas vers 1734, fut jeune lieutenant de la 60e infanterie du Royal American au côté de Wolfe lors de la bataille des Plaines d'Abraham, le 13 septembre 1759. Il fut secrétaire particulier, confident et conseiller du gouverneur Frederick Haldimand du district de Trois-Rivières en 1763 et parlait aussi bien le français que l'anglais. L'année suivante, il laisse son poste pour acquérir les seigneuries de Grosbois Ouest et de Grandpré. Une première seigneurie canadienne passait à un homme entièrement dédié à l'Angleterre et ce sera celle d'Yamachiche. Conrad développa le « Domaine » qui comprenait le manoir en 1764 et le moulin à farine en 1772 qui étaient situés sur les terres de Monsieur Jacques Bergeron entre l’autoroute 40 et le 320 Gérin-Lajoie. Le Chemin du Roi passait directement sur son « Domaine ». De plus, plusieurs secteurs se développèrent : Grosbois Ouest; Petites-Terres; Village des Caron; Village de la Mission et la route de la Chicane. Il acheta trois autres seigneuries en 1771 : Dumontier, Frédérick (secteur des Forges) et Rivière-du-Loup (partie de St-Léon-le-Grand). C’est à St-Léon-le-Grand qu’il découvrit en 1783, une source d’eau minérale salée en grande quantité et en garde l’exploitation, mais cède la terre qui contient la dite source à Louis et François Paillé, d’oùnaîtra en 1849 l’histoire de « La Saline ».

    CHAPTER XXIV. Crown lands management Waste lands in seigniories Government officials Army bills redeemed Banking Political situation, 1816 The two Papineaus Sessions of 1817-1819 Death of George III., 1820 A speech of Louis-Joseph Papineau. To portion out the lands amongst the militia, General Drummond, the administrator of the province (1815), was constrained to have recourse to the officials of a department in which enormous abuses existed. The lands were divided up between favourites. So much territory had been given away that Drummond informed the minister that there was no more room on the River St. Francis for the establishment of the immigrants and the discharged soldiers. Every one had pounced down upon that immense pasture ground. From 1793 to 1811, over three million acres had been granted to a couple of hundred privileged applicants. Some of them secured as much as sixty to eighty thousand acres as, for example, Governor Milnes, who took nearly seventy thousand as his share. These people had no intention of ever improving the land by clearing it of the forest. As it cost them nothing, they purposed leaving the same in a wild state until such time as the development of the neigh- bourhood by colonization would increase the value of the whole. Another vexatious land question arose out of the vast domains granted by the King of France to the so-called seigneurs which were intended, by the letter and spirit of the grants themselves, to be given to the settlers whenever they wished for them. Large tracts of these still remained unoc- cupied and the seigneurs had often expressed the desire to get them as their own property in free and common socage, whilst the country people main- tained that they were to be kept en seigneurie according to the intention of the sovereign who first granted them.

  • James Monk's “Observations on the Courts of Law in Nova Scotia”, 1775
    James Monk’s “Observations on the Courts of Law in Nova Scotia” , 1775 In May 1931 Dr. William Inglis Morse purchased for £50 from Bernard Quaritch Ltd. of London, the antiquarian booksellers, a twenty-one-page manuscript in a blue paper wrapper entitled “Observations on the Courts of Law in Nova Scotia” . In June 1932 Morse donated it to Acadia University, where today it is found in the William Inglis Morse Collection at Vaughan Memorial Library.1 Though the work is anonymous, the author’s hand­ writing, idiom, orthography, prolixity and awkward syntax — not to mention anglophilia, legal fluency and perspective — confirm his identity as James Monk, Solicitor-General of Nova Scotia from 1774 to 1776.2 There is also cor­ roborating external evidence from a letter of Monk to his English patron, Sir Clifton Wintringham, in which Monk promised to send him “some General observations on the state of this Colony” .3 In the same letter, written on 17 November 1775, Monk also promised to send Wintringham the “Votes” of the House of Assembly, which had just been prorogued.4 It is therefore rele­ vant to note that, at the same time he purchased the “Observations” , Dr. Morse also obtained from Quaritch “Nova Scotia. Journals and Votes of the House of Assembly, 1775” . Sir Clifton Wintringham died without issue in 1794, long after his protégé had left Nova Scotia. Thereafter the provenance of the Monk manuscripts is obscure until they were acquired by Quaritch. A director of Bernard Quaritch Ltd. has recently voiced the suspicion that “ these items...came into and went out of the shop too quickly to be catalogued” .5 James — later Sir James — Monk was born in Boston in 1745, the son of James Monk and Ann Deering, who brought their family to Halifax in 1749.

    The Honest Man/L’Homme Honnête: The Colonial Gentleman, the Development of the Press, and the Race and Gender Discourses of the Newspapers in the British “Province of Quebec,” 1764-1791 By Valérie Isabelle Martin A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2018 Copyright © Valérie Isabelle Martin, 2018 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the new public world of print that emerged and developed in the “Province of Quebec” from 1764 to 1791. Using discourse analysis, it argues that the press reflected, and contributed to producing the race and gender privileges of the White, respectable gentleman, also called the “honest man,” regardless of whether he was Canadien or of Anglo-descent. A British colony created by the Royal Proclamation of 1763, the Province of Quebec existed until 1791 when it was divided into the separate colonies of Upper and Lower Canada by the Constitutional Act. The colony’s development and dissolution corresponded with a growing population and changing demographics in the Saint Lawrence Valley, a brief increase in racial slavery in Montreal and Quebec City, and altered political and economic alliances between the White settler population and Native peoples of the North American interior after the defeat of the French in 1763 and following the emergence of the American Republic in 1783. Internally, changes brought about by the conclusion of the British Conquest in 1760, such as the introduction of British rule and English law in Quebec, were implemented alongside French ancien régime structures of legal and political governance that persisted mostly unhampered and fostered the preservation of an authoritarian-style government in the new “old” colony.

  • Rural Manufacture in Lower Canada: Understanding Seigneurial Privilege and the * Transition in the Countryside David Schulze
    Rural Manufacture in Lower Canada: Understanding Seigneurial Privilege and the * Transition in the Countryside David Schulze The paper is a discussion of the theoretical implications of capitalist production based on seigneurial privilege in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Quebec. This phenomenon is evaluated in the context of the Marxist analysis of the transition to capitalism. While earlier interpretations have characterized such production as essentially mercantile and/or feudalistic, the author considers that it matches Marx's description of the transitional phenomenon of manufacture , the form of capital's first appearance. L'article est une discussion des implications theoriques de la production capitaliste basee sur le privilege seigneurial au Quebec, a la fin du dix-huitieme et au debut du dix-neuvieme siScles. Ce phenomene est apparent dans le contexte de l'analyse marxiste de la transition au capitalisme. Tandis que les interpretations anterieures ont traite cette production d'essentiellement marchande et/ou feodaliste, elle se range a la description par Marx du phenomene de transition qui est la manufacture , la forme de la premiere apparition du capital. * Theory: The transition The nineteenth century saw the emergence of industrial capitalism in Quebec (Lower Canada); that much is acknowledged by any historian of the period. This implied a transition from a predominantly rural society specializing in agricultural production to a predominantly urban one, characterized by industrial production. Marxist analyses

    CHAPTER XXII. Debates in the assembly, 1808-1810 Talk of war Preparations for defence, 1808 Sir James Craig and his surroundings Trade, navigation, finance Trouble with the assembly Le Canadien suppressed, 1810 Elections Sir James recalled, 1811. A song composed in Quebec alluded to the Milnes-Ryland-Sewell anti- Canadian party as pretty fair tyrants, but quite a small battalion to meet ' ' ' ' the Americans and the chorus ran : They will rely on our arms. These lines are a perfect picture of the time. The House opened 28th February, 1807. Subjects of debate: War in Europe; state of affairs with the American Republic; the Jews in the contested elections circulation of wood and assembly ; ; monetary ; inspection the elected members of the lumber ; judges legislative assembly ; importation of works taxes on notarial land and liquor ; public ; deeds, surveyors copies from public archives; pilotage; Three Rivers hospital. The assembly took into consideration the expediency of having an authorized agent, resident in Great Britain, for the purpose of attending to the interests of the province, when occasion should require, and deter- mined that it would be highly advantageous to have such an one legally authorized and resident there. No other action was taken on this subject. An effort was made in 1807 towards obtaining an allowance for defray- ing the expenses of the members of the assembly who resided at a distance from Quebec, but the subject was postponed. "That the Canadians at this time were loyal to Great Britain, and out of all sympathy with the course of events in France, is shown by their enthusiastic celebration of Nelson's victory at Trafalgar."* "From the beginning of the war comparatively large amounts were contributed by Canadians of all creeds and classes towards the funds neces- sary for its prosecution.

  • La Mixité Culturelle Au Sein Des Élites Québécoises Au Xixe Siècle : L'exemple De La Famille Marchand, 1791-1900
    La mixité culturelle au sein des élites québécoises au XIXe siècle : l’exemple de la famille Marchand, 1791-1900 Mémoire Alex Tremblay Maîtrise en histoire Maître ès Arts (M. A.) Québec, Canada © Alex Tremblay, 2014 Résumé Ce mémoire met en lumière la mixité culturelle au sein des élites québécoises entre 1791 et 1900 en se penchant sur une de ses dimensions les plus intimes : la famille. En nous penchant sur l’exemple de la famille de l’ancien premier ministre Félix-Gabriel Marchand, nous montrons que ces couples s’inscrivent dans les mêmes stratégies de reproduction sociale que les élites endogames. Toutefois, la mixité les amène à revoir les structures familiales et à adopter une culture mixte qui n’est pas très éloignée de chacun des deux milieux. En effet, les élites partagent une culture commune tout en ayant leurs particularités à cette époque. En nous appuyant essentiellement sur la correspondance de cette famille et, dans une moindre mesure, sur le journal intime de Joséphine Marchand, nous montrons également que les enfants nés de ces unions adoptent rapidement la culture d’un des deux parents – dans ce cas-ci, celle du père. Cependant, cela ne les empêche pas de conserver une plus grande ouverture au groupe ethnolinguistique duquel est issu leur second parent et de s’imposer comme un pont entre ces deux communautés. iii iv Table des matières RÉSUMÉ III TABLE DES MATIERES V LISTE DES TABLEAUX VII ABRÉVIATIONS VII REMERCIEMENTS XII INTRODUCTION 1 I.
