8 (p. 213).--See sketch of Giffard in vol. vi., _note_ 8. Ferland says (_Cours d'Histoire_, vol. i., pp. 265-267): "This edifice [Champlain's chapel, built in 1633] was not long adequate for the French population, which was every year increased by the arrival of new colonists; and in a short time it became necessary to make a considerable enlargement of the building.... The return of the French to Canada had produced such a movement in the maritime provinces of Western France, and especially in Normandy. From all sides came offers of aid; pious persons sent charitable gifts, either for the missions, or for the instruction of the French and the savages. In many communities, nuns offered themselves to nurse the sick, or to educate young girls; some even were pledged to this work by vows. Christian families, desiring to seek peace in the solitudes of the new world, asked for information as to the advantages that Canada could offer them. This interest was aroused by the relations that the Jesuits sent in 1632 and 1633. These being published, and disseminated in Paris and the provinces, had drawn public attention to the colony. From Dieppe, from Rouen, from Honfleur, and from Cherbourg, went forth many young men to seek their fortunes on the shores of the St. Lawrence; many heads of families followed them; and soon the movement spread to Perche, to Beauce, and to the Isle of France. To render emigration easier, associations were formed. One of the most successful was established, at Mortagne, in 1634, under the direction of Sieur Robert Giffard." 9 (p. 213).--For sketch of Buteux, see vol. vi., _note_ 5. 10 (p. 213).--This paragraph occurs, in the text we follow, on page 327, after the paragraph ending, "apres avoir cruellement massacré les autres." But in the second (Paris) issue, and in those of Quebec and Avignon, it is found as here given. The latter arrangement is undoubtedly correct, for St. John Baptist's day occurred on June 24, not on July 24. 11 (p. 213).--For sketch of Brébeuf, see vol. iv., _note_ 30; of Daniel and Davost, vol. v., _notes_ 31, 32; of the foundation of Three Rivers settlement, vol. iv., _note_ 24. 12 (p. 215).--For sketch of Louis Amantacha, see vol. v., _note_ 20. 13 (p. 229).--Concerning this Sainte Croix Island, see vol. ii., _note_ 66. 14 (p. 233).--The Frenchman murdered by the Hurons was Étienne Brulé (see vol. v., _note_ 37).
