[27] In accepting the Chateau St. Louis as the spot where Montcalm
expired, we still wish to leave the question an open one. Did Montcalm
expire at the Chateau, under Dr. Arnoux's roof, at the General Hospital,
as averred by Capt. John Knox, or, possibly, under his own roof on the
ramparts, near Hope Gate? This point is not yet cleared up. See
disquisition in Album du Touriste "Ou est mort Montcalm?"
[28] On the 9th July, 1755, De Beaujeu won this brilliant victory.
[29] The 8th July, 1758, has been rendered famous by Montcalm and his
regulars and Canadian militia at Carillon.
[30] Louis Honore Frechette, born at the town of Levis, opposite to
Quebec - went through a classical course at the Quebec Seminary - studied
for the Bar, recently member of parliament for his native county, Levis,
under the present Judge for the Kamouraska District, Hon. Henri
Taschereau. Represented his native county of Levis in the Commons
Parliament from 1873 to 1878. His poetical effusions were published, at
Quebec, in 1863, in a small volume, intituled "Mes Loisirs"; in 1877, a
more extensive collection was published under the title of "Pele-Mele." He
was awarded in 1880, by the Academie Francaise of Paris, the Grand Prix
Monthyon, 2,000 francs.
