FOOTNOTES
CHAPTER I.
[1] Mr. and Mrs. Dickens had lunched in the Citadel on that May 27th,
1842, the admired guests of the officers of the Grenadier Guards stationed
there.

[5] Before the era of the Allan line, sailing vessels used to land their
living cargoes of forlorn emigrants in the Lower Town, sometimes after a
passage of fourteen weeks.
CHAPTER II.
[6] Parkman thus heralds the advent of this foreign arrival from sea: - "A
lonely ship sailed up the St. Lawrence. The white whales floundering in
the Bay of Tadousac, and the wild duck diving as the foaming prow drew
near, - there was no life but these in all that watery solitude, twenty
miles from shore to shore. The ship was from Honfleur, and was commanded
by Samuel de Champlain. He was the Aeneas of a destined people, and in her
womb lay the embryo life of Canada." (Pioneers of France in the New
World, p. 296.)
[7] Champlain calls Cape Diamond, Mont du Gas (Guast), from the family
name of De Monts. He gives the name of Cape Diamond to Pointe a Puiseaux.
See map of Quebec (1613.)
CHAPTER III.
[8] Six French Governors died and were buried in Quebec - Samuel de
Champlain, Count de Frontenac, M. de Mesy, De Callieres, Marquis de la
Jonquiere, and Marquis de Vaudreuil. Two English Governors - Lieut. Gen.
Hope and the Duke of Richmond.
[9] Up to 1617, and later, Cbamplain's residence was in the Lower Town,
and stood nearly on the site of the Church of Notre-Dames des Victoires.
[10] John London MacAdam, the inventor of macadamized roads, was born in
Ayr, Scotland, on the 21st September, 1756, and died at Moffat on the 26th
