Collection:: Economics Books

A PROVINCE OLD IN STORY 1 the province and perpetuated the characteristics which give to it such distinction and charm. What was once New France is, in some respects, older than the France of to-day; relics of old French survive in the lang- uage of the French-Canadian farmer; the superficial plan of the old seigniories accords with that of feudal France, and to this day, in certain nooks of the province, names occur in the folk-songs that are often echoes of the troubadours of Provence. Notwithstanding the immigration of the Loyalists from the United States into the Eastern Townships, or the growth of the British population in Montreal and the influx of British and American enterprise and capital which have so much added to the prosperity of the province, Quebec still maintains her national unity, one of a family of nine provinces, steady and contented, safely guarding her constitutional rights, and now in the morning of a vigorous development of her unbounded resources.
