Three well defined eras of development in Canada; the French regime
and its heroic aspect; the works of Champlain, Lescarbot,
Potherie, Le Clercq, Charlevoix and others; evidences of some
culture in Quebec and Montreal; the foundation of the Jesuit
College and the Seminaries; Peter Kalm on the study of science;
the mental apathy of the colony generally in the days of French
supremacy.
