Synopsis

This book is a 19th-century guide to Quebec and its surrounding areas. Published in 1815, the author provides an account of the city and country adjacent, including a travel guide, historical information pertaining to the area, and insights on the culture, economy and politics of the time. The author provides an in-depth look at the city of Quebec itself, including its architecture, important buildings and institutions, and notable landmarks, with a knowledgeable grasp of the city's deep history and setting that only a profound understanding of the region could provide. The book also serves as an excellent resource on the regional geography, describing various rivers, lakes, and surrounding villages, towns and attractions. It functions not only as a guidebook, but a historical account of the region and an evocative portrayal of the era in which it was written.
