4 (p. 15).--In regard to the Canadian policy of the Hundred Associates, see vol. iv., _notes_ 21, 38; and vol. vii., _note_ 18. Cf. Faillon (_Col. Fr._, pp. 343-352); he complains that the company, although at first making some efforts to bring over colonists, soon evaded the obligations imposed by their charter, and sent to Canada few besides their own fur-trade employees; that they cleared no land, and only sent provisions to the colony; that they made concessions (as to Giffard, Bourdon, and many others) obliging those to whom lands were given to assume the company's duties of clearing lands, and sending and supporting colonists--which acts should at the same time inure to the benefit of the Associates, and be credited to their account, as if performed by them. 5 (p. 17).--Concerning Duplessis-Bochard, see vol. v., _note_ 34. 6 (p. 19).--Le Jeune states, in the _Relation_ for 1634 (vol. vii. of this series, p. 229), that this fort was built on St. Croix Island (see vol. ii., _note_ 66). The island was afterwards known by the name of the fort. Ferland (_Cours d'Histoire_, vol. i., p. 260, _note_) thus cites Faucher: "The little island below Richelieu, where now is a light-house, is precisely the same where was formerly situated a fort, to intercept passage in time of war. The channel adjacent to the island has been measured, and its greatest width is seven arpents; vessels generally pass at a distance of three or four arpents from the island. In all the river, there is no place more suitable for the erection of a fort. At low tide, no water remains in the channel." 7 (p. 19).--_Metaberoutin_: the Three Rivers (St. Maurice); see vol. ii., _note_ 52. 8 (p. 45).--Pierre Pijart was born at Paris, May 17, 1608, and, soon after attaining his majority, became a Jesuit novice. His studies were successively pursued at Paris, La Flèche, and Caen; and, in July, 1635, he came to Canada. He was at once assigned to the Huron mission, where he remained five years. In November, 1640, he went with Garnier to open the Mission of the Holy Apostles among the Tionnontates or Tobacco Nation. This tribe, however, refused to listen to them; and within a year they were obliged to abandon this mission for a time. Pijart was employed at the Ste. Marie residence for some three years. In September, 1645, he was located at Three Rivers, being mentioned by Lalemant, in the _Journal des Jésuites_ (Quebec, 1871), p. 5, as "procureur des Hurons." In August, 1650, he returned to France. 9 (p. 47).--Pierre Feauté, a lay brother in the Jesuit order, came to Canada in the summer of 1635; occasional mention of him in _Journ. des Jésu._ shows that he was employed in the Jesuit residence of Notre-Dame des Anges in 1636, and, later, at Quebec. In November, 1651, he made a voyage to France, whither he seems to have finally returned in October, 1657.
