=FOREWORD=
[Illustration: Harebells.]
THIS little book aspires, neither to the utility of a guide-book, nor to
the dignity of a history. It is designed rather as a reminder of the
great events which have given to the old city of Quebec a world-wide
fame; and with this object in view, many of the illustrations have been
copied from old prints and drawings. With the exception of a photograph
of his painting of Wolfe, kindly lent by J. W. L. Forster, Esq., and the
two photographs on page 57,[1] taken by James Ritchie, Esq., of Quebec,
the remainder of the illustrations are largely the result of a pleasant
summer in that quaintest part of the Dominion—once the heart of “New
France”—where picturesque old-world customs still linger amongst the
modern fashions of this practical century.
