[192] Breweries, however, and other manufactories had been in operation in
the colony as early as 1668, as we glean from the following entry in the
Jesuits' Journal: -
"Et parce qu'un pais ne peut pas se former entierement sans l'assistance
des manufactures, nous voyons deja celle des souliers et des chapeaux
commencee, celle des toiles et des cuirs projetee, et on attend que la
multiplication qui se fait des moutons, produise suffisement des laines
pour introduire celle des draps, et c'est ce que nous esperons dans peu
puisque les bestiaux se peuplent assez abondamment, entr-autres les
chevaux qui commencent a distribuer dans tout le pais. La brasserie que
Monsieur Talon fait construire, ne servira pas peu aussi pour la commodite
publique, soit pour l'epargne des boissons enivrantes, qui causent ici de
grands desordres, auxquels on pourra obvier par cette antre boisson qui
est tres saine et non malfaisante, soit pour conserver l'argent dans le
pais qui s'en divertit par l'achat qu'on fait en France de tant de
boissons, soit enfin pour consumer le surabondant des bleds qui si sont
trouves quelquefois en telle quantite que les laboureurs n'en pouuaient
avoir le debit." - Relations des Jesuites, 166, p. 3. On the site of
Talon's brewery, was built the Intendant's Palace, in the rear of
Boswell's Brewery.

[196] In 1684, at the review of French troops at Fort Fontenac, appear
among others Captaines de la Cote; the Captain de la Cote de Beauport,

[198] Madame Pean's house in St. Louis street stood where the Officers
Barracks have been since built. We take her to have been that pretty Ang.

[200] The monument erected by the inhabitants of Sillery, to the memory of
the Revd. Pere Ennemond Masse, S. J., first Missionary to Canada, was
inaugurated on Saturday afternoon, the 26th June, 1870, in presence of the
inhabitants of Sillery, and of several literary gentlemen of the environs.
Revd. G. V. Cazeau, addressed those present, and was followed by the Abbes
Laverdiere and Casgrain, and by Hon'l P. C. A. Chauveau and Mr. R. R.
Dobell.
Mr. Dobell delivered a lengthy and able address on the worth of the good
missionary but dwelt chiefly on the career of the benevolent Commander
Brulart de Sillery:
At our suggestion, the monument was made by its inscriptions to
commemorate the merit of both:
