[Footnote 56: Page 33.--The first volume of the 'Trans. Roy. Soc. Can.'
(1882-83), pp. i-lxxiv., contains an account of the proceedings before
and after the foundation of the Society, with the addresses in full of
the Marquess of Lorne and of the first President and Vice-President of
the body. On the occasion of the Montreal meeting, 1891, a handbook was
largely circulated by the Citizens' Committee with the view of giving
information of the object and work of the Society. It was written
by Mr. John Reade, F.R.S.C., and contains a succinct history of the
origin and operations of the body until May, 1891. It contains plans
of McGill College grounds and of Montreal in 1759, and sketches of the
old Seminary towers, St. Gabriel-street church, St. Ann's, besides some
interesting facts relating to Montreal's historic places.]
