PREFACE.
It is easy to remember the general features in the history of Canada; but it is practically impossible to recollect the dates of more than a few of the important events, and when, in the course of reading or writing, a date is wanted, a search is often tedious or inconvenient. To supply, in some measure, a means of ready reference in such a case, is the object of this hand- book. In its preparation very little use has been made or, indeed, could be made of the ordinary text-books and histories, of which it may rather be considered the complement. When- ever possible, recourse has been had to original sources of information, and greater accuracy, not only as to dates but also as to other details, has thus been attained, The dates have been arranged in tabular form, in order to facilitate reference, and any explanations considered necessary have been put into the form of notes, some of which will be found to contain
curious and little-known facts.

NOTES,
ee
In the lists of Governors, ete., the names which are indented are those of administrators,
The new style was adopted in France in 1582, the 10th of October being changed to the 20th. It was adopted in England in 1752, the 3rd of September being altered to the 14th, and dates relating to Nova Scotia, previous to the latter date, are the only ones in this book in accordance with the o/:/ stile,
ee
1. About the 25th of June, Cartier arrived in the Vicinity of the Magdalen Islands ; early in July he was in the Baie des Chaleurs ; and on the 24th of July he landed at Gaspé and formally took possession of the country in the name of the King of France.
2. In 1626 the Recollet Father, De La Roche Daillon, penetrated to the Neutral Nation, a tribe dwelling on both sides of the Niagara River. But if he reached Lake Erie, it is not recorded,
3. The alleged discovery of Hudson’s Bay by Jean Bourdon in 1656, by Dablon in 1661, or by Despres Couture in 1663, does not appear ever to have taken place.
4. Several attempts have been made to show that Nicolet dis- covered the upper waters of the Mississippi as early as 1639 ; but the superior claims of Joliet and Marquette seem to have been clearly established.
5. In the Relations des Jésuites, 1648, the falls of Niagara are mentioned, but not by name,
6. It is generally believed that Port Royal, now Annapolis, wag founded in 1605, and that it ig consequently the oldest town in Canada. This is an error. The settlement which De Monts formed

in 1605, and called Port Royal, was on the north side of Annapolis Basin, nearly opposite Goat Island. It was abandoned in 1607, re-occupied in 1610, and destroyed in 1613 by ‘he Virginians under Captain Argall. In 1620 it was re-settled by a number of Scotch colonists. After the treaty of St. Germain it was restored to the French, who almost immediately abandoned it; the fort was de- molished ; and the seat of government was removed for a time to La Héve, not far from the present town of Lunenburg. This is the last mention of De Mont’s Port Royal. Some time between 1636 and 1645, a new settlement, also called Port Royal, was established by d’Aunay Charnisay, about six miles from the site of the former settlement, but on the sowth side of Annapolis Basin, and a fort was built there, of which the ruins are still to be seen. It is this second Port Royal which was taken by Sedgwick in 1654, by Phips in 1690, and finally by Nicholson on the 13th October, 1710, when the name was changed to Annapolis in honor of Queen Anne.
7. The 8th of June was for a long time regarded as the date of the foundation of Halifax, and on that day in 1849 the centenary of the foundation of the city was celebrated. The correctness of that date, however, caiie to be questioned, and, in 1862, corre- sponcence between the celebration committee and the Commis- sioner of Public Records led to the production by him of a letter written by Cornwallis, in which he stated that he had arrived in Halifax THlarbor on the 21st of June. A proclamation by the Lieutenant-Governor then appeared in the Royal Gazette, appoint- ing the 21st of June, 1862, as the anniversary of the settlement of Halifax, and on that day it has ever since been observed. But, although Cornwallis did arrive in Chebucto Harbor on the 21st of June, it was only with his suite on board the sloop-of-war Sphina. It appears, by his subsequent letters to the Secretary of State, that it was not until the 27th that the first of the transports that brought over the settlers appeared off the harbor, and it would seem that it was not before the 30th of June that he landed the settlers and that Halifax was founded.
NOTES. 87
8. In this list of battles are included many minor engagements, and also captures of places in some cases effected without fighting.
9. Slavery was gradually extinguished in Upper Canada by an Act of the Legislature, passed July 9, 1793, which forbade the further importation of slaves and ordered that all slave children born after that date should be free on attaining the age of twenty- five. Slavery still existed at York on the Ist of March, 1811.
10. Slavery terminated throughout the British colonies, by Act of the Imperial Parliament, on the 1st of August, 1834.
11. Under the Act, passed in 1869 by the Canadian Parliament, for the temporary government of Rupert’s Land and the North- Western Territory, the Hon. William McDougall was appointed Lieutenant-Governor on the 29th of October, 1869; but he was prevented by the insurrection of the French half-breeds from entering the country, and he returned to Ottawa in December.
12. In 1768 « Secretary of State was appointed for American and Colonial affairs, which from 1660 had been managed by the Council of Plantations or of Trade and Plantations ; but this office was abolished in 1782, and the affairs of the colonies devolved on the Home Department, being in the charge of a separate branch of that department, called the Office for Plantations, and being at first managed by a separate Under-Secretary. In 1794 the office of Secretary of State for the Colonies was revived in the person of Henry Dundas (afterwards Lord Melville), who was also Secre- tary for War, and this new department was thenceforth gener- ally known as the Colonial or Colonial and War Department. Since 1854 the affairs of the colonies have been under the exclu- sive charge of a principal Secretary of State.
13. In almost all the lists hitherto published of Governors of Canada, the dates given are those of their commissions. But these dates, especially as regards the French Governors, are in many cases not even an approximation to the commencement of their tenure of oftice. For instance, Lauzon, d’Argenson and Mézy were appointed for three years, not from the date of their com-

missions, but from the day of their landing at Quebec ; Vaudreuil did not assume the government, as governor, until 1705, or more than two years after the date of his commission ; and in the case of La Jonquiére the interval was still greater.
14. Quebec was held by the English, under Louis Kirke, from 7 July 20, 1629, to July 13, 1632, when it was restored to France. The colony was then governed by Emery de Caen and Duplessis Bochart, until Champlain’s return, May 23, 1633. 15. Champlain died on the 25th of December. Chateaufort’s administration began on the day of the interment, probably the 28th. 16. The Marquis de Tracy, the King’s Lieutenant-Général in America, arrived at Quebec, June 30, 1665, and was virtually Governor of Canada till his departure, August 28, 1667.
17. La Galissonniére was sent out to administer the government during the captivity of La Jonquiére, who, on his way from France, had been made prisoner by the English, in a naval engagement off Cape Finisterre, May 3, 1747.
18. According to the epitaph preserved in Smith’s History of Canada, La Jonquiére died on the 17th of May, and that is the date given by every writer since. However, there is grave reason to doubt either the correctness of the epitaph itself or its having been correctly copied. In a letter from Bigot to the Minister, dated Quebec, May 6, 1752, it is distinctly stated that La Jonquiére died on the 17th of March; the same date is given in the Bigot Memoir ; and several letters from de Longueuil, the administrator, written before the 17th of May, can be explained only by accepting March and not May as the month of La Jonquiére’s death, a
19, Although Amherst’s name is usually placed first on the list of English Governors of Canada, it is well known that after the capitulation of Montreal he divided the Province into three govern- ments or districts, for each of which he appointed a Governor, and that he himself very shortly afterwards left the country and did not return. The Governors of these three districts, during what

is commonly called the period of military rule, from September 8, 1760, to August 10, 1764, were :—
District of Quebec :— Murray, Gen. James. ..Sep., 1760, to Aug., 1764

20. Guy Carleton was made a Knight of the Bath, July 6, 1776. He was created Lord Dorchester, August 21, 1786.
21. From 1786 to 1867 the Governor at Quebec held a commis- sion also as Governor of each of the Maritime Provinces, and, (from 1791 to 1841,) of Upper Canada, the government of each of these Provinces being administered by a Lieutenant-Governor, except during the presence in the province of the Governor-in- Chief, which seldom happened.
22. Governor Prescott left for England, July 31, 1799 ; but he continued to hold the office of Governor until 1807.
23. Lieutenant-Governor Milnes was created a Baronet, Feb- ruary 14, 1801.
24. On the 12th of July, 1816, Sir John Sherbrooke took the oaths of office at Quebec, although he had previously, on the 8th of June, been sworn in at Halifax.
25. Sir Peregrine Maitland, Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, was sworn in at Quebec, as administrator of the govern- ment, on the 8th of February. He returned to Upper Canada next day ; but came back to Quebec in March, and was again sworn in on the 17th.

26. Lord Dalhousie was sworn in at Halifax as Governor-in-Chief, November 24, 1819.
27. The Right Hon. C. E. Poulett Thomson was created Baron Sydenham and Toronto in 1840. He was sworn in as Governor of the Province of Canada, on the 10th of February, 1841, when Upper and Lower Canada were united.
28. Sir Charles Metcalfe was created Baron Metcalfe in January, 1845.
29. Sir John Young was created Baron Lisgar on the 8th of October, 1870.
30. There is still so much darkness and confusion about the early history of Acadia, especially down to the time of Grandfontaine, that there is difficulty in determining the very names of the guver- nors, and this list is but an attempt to reconcile some of the con- tradictions which exist between any two independent histories of that period.
31. It would seem that during this period (1636-1641) Acadia was divided into two governments: that of La Tour, comprising the peninsula of Nova Scotia, and that of D’Aunay Charnisay, extending along the coast of New Brunswick and Maine, from Chignecto to Pemaquid.
32. Acadia was held by the English from 1654 to 1670; for, although the treaty of Breda provided for its restoration to France, it was not actually surrendered till July, 1670.
33. Brouillan sailed for France, December 18, 1704. He died at sea, on his way back to Acadia, September 22, 1705.
34. Henry Ellis, who had been Governor of Georgia in 1758, was appointed Governor of Nova Scotia, April 14, 1761; but he never came to assume the position, and upon his resignation Lieu- tenant-Governor Wilmot was appointed Governor, October 8, 1763,
35. Legge left for England, May 12, 1776, but continued to hold the commission of Governor, and the actual government was car- ried on by the Lieutenant-Governors.

36. In October, 1786, Parr ceased to be Governor of Nova Scotia, having received a commission as Lieutenant-Governor,— See Note 21.
37. A curivus misconception exists as to the Lieutenant-Gover- nors of the Province of Quebec. When the celebrated English reader, Mr. Bellew, was in Quebec, a few years ago, he sought in- formation concerning an ancestor of his who was supposed to have been ‘‘ Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec” at the end of the last century. A short correspondence on the subject appeared in the Quebec Chronicle, and was reproduced in the Canadian Antiquarian in July, 1874 ; and it was there stated that not only Major-General Patrick Bellew was appointed Lieutenant-Governor, but that he was succeeded by Colonel John Callow and, probably, by General Morris. Subsequent writers, in attempting to form a list of the Lieutenant-Governors of the Province, included Bellew, Callow and Morris, although the position was apparently filled during those years by Prescott, Milnes and others. Moreover, it seemed to escape notice that the proper title of the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province was, at that time, not the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, but the Lieutenant-Governor of Lower Canada. Still, it is true that Bellew and Callow were ‘ Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec ;” but that was simply the title of the officer second in command of the garrison of Quebec. As in other garrison-towns, there was also an officer styled the Governor, and that was the position held by Morris. The following list of these ofticers, down to 1840, and the dates of their appointment will make this matter clear :—

41, Poulett Thomson, Governor-in-Chief, was sworn in at To- ronto, November 22, 1839, as Governor of Upper Canada. Sir George Arthur resumed the government between the 19th and 27th February, 1840.

51. According to the younger Raudot’s commission, he was to act as Intendant in the event of his father’s sickness or absence from Quebec.
52. Robert; who was coming out to replace Begon, died at sea, on board Le Chameau, on the 24th of June, 1724, the day the ship left La Rochelle,
53. De Chazel was lost in the wreck of Le Chameau, on his way to Canada, on the 27th of August, 1725.
54. Governor Beauharnois summoned D’Aigremont from Mont- real to replace Dupuy, as ordonnatewr. D’Aigremont died on the lst of December, 1728, and was succeeded, on the 18th of Janu- ary, 1729, by De Tilly, who was commissaire de la marine at Que- bec. Although acting in concert with Beauharnois and sending reports to France, it does not appear that either D’Aigremont or De Tilly was present at any meeting of the council in the interval between Dupuy’s departure and Hocquart’s installation. The council was during that time presided by Delino, premier conseiller.
In Doutre and Lareau’s Histoire du Droit Canadien it is claimed that Ferland is mistaken in stating that Dupuy was recalled, and Garneau is cited in support of this. Ferland’s statement, how- ever, is confirmed by the minutes of the conseil extraordinaire of the 22nd of September, 1728, where it is stated that on the Ist of that month Dupuy was notified of his recall.
55. By a commission of March 8, 1729, Hocquart was appointed commissaire général de la marine, to perform the duties, and enjoy the honors, authority, prerogatives, rank in the council, etc., of the Intendant, in the absence of such an officer for New France. He first sat in that capacity on the 6th of September, 1729. His commission as Intendant was registered, August 20, 1731.
56. Thomas Legauffre was named Bishop of Canada in 1645, but died a few weeks afterwards, and was never consecrated.
57. Bishop Laval was consecrated as vicar-apostolic for New France, December 8, 1658, and landed at Quebec, June 16, 1659,

58. On the 26th of July, 1704, La Seine was captured by the English, and Bishop St. Vallier, who was on his way back from France, was made prisoner. He was detained in England until June 15, 1709, then spent four years in France, and arrived in Quebec on the 17th of August, 1713.
59. Bishop Mornay never came to America. He was conse- crated at Paris, April 22, 1714, as coadjutor to the Bishop of Quebec, and in that capacity governed that part of the diocese of Quebec which extended along the Mississippi.
60. Bishop De l’Auberiviére arrived at Quebec, August 12, 1740, and died eight days afterwards, on the 20th, of fever.

72. The Bishop of Vancouver’s Island is suffragan to the Arch- bishop of Oregon City, in the United States.
73. Archdeacon G. J. Mountain was appointed to assist the Bishop of Quebec, under the title of Bishop of Montreal. He had, however, no separate jurisdiction, nor was any see erected at Montreal, and he acted under a commission from Bishop Stewart. He landed at Quebec, September 11, 1836, and the charge of the whole diocese devolved upon him on the departure of Bishop Stewart for England, September 22, 1836.
74. Bishop Inglis was the first colonial bishop of the Church of England. The Rev. Thomas Bradbury Chandler, rector of St. John’s Church, Elizabethtown, New Jersey, was appointed, (dur- ing his stay in England, 1775-85,) first Bishop of Nova Scotia, by the Archbishop of Canterbury ; but he was obliged to decline the office, on account of ill-health.
75. Bishop Stanser was consecrated in England, May 6, 1816, and spent that summer in his diocese. Owing to sickness, he was absent in England from the autumn of 1816 till 1824, when he resigned.

79. The Chief-Justice of uUhe Queen’s Bench was formerly the Chief-Justice of the Province. By an Act passed on the 2nd of March, 1877, it was provided that when a vacancy occurred in the Chief-Justiceship of the Queen’s Bench, the Chief-Justice of Appeals should thenceforth be called the Chief-Justice of Ontario. This vacancy occurred upon the death of Chief-Justice Harrison, November 1, 1878.—See Note 77.
80. From the 4th of March, 1887, the date of the establish- ment of the Court of Chancery, until 1849, the Governor, Lieu- tenant-Governor, or person administering the government of Upper Canada was ex officio Chancellor, and the judicial powers of the Court were exercised by a Vice-Chancellor.
81. As constituted in 1849, the Court of Error and Appeal for Upper Canada was composed of the judges of the three other Courts, and was presided over by the Chief-Justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench, if present. On the 15th of March, 1862, Sir John Beverley Robinson was appointed Presiding Judge. He died in 1863, and was succeeded on the 25th of July by Archibald McLean, who died October 24, 1865.

92. The Frontenac is frequently alluded to as the first steamer on Lake Ontario; but the Kingston Gazette, mentioning the launch, adds that ‘‘a steamboat was lately launched at Sacket’s Harbour.” The Frontenac’s first trip to the head of the lake was not made until June 5, 1817.
93. The Royal William, a Canadian-built vessel, was the first to cross the Atlantic by steam-power alone. This distinction has often been claimed for the Savannah, which left Savannah on the 26th of May, 1819, and reached Liverpool on the 20th of June: but most of the trip was made under sail alone, the paddle-wheels being taken on board. In fact, the Savannah was merely a full- rigged sailing vessel, and as such only was employed after her return to America. No transatlantic steamer arrived in any port of the United States until the 23rd of April, 1838, when the Sirius and the Great Western entered the port of New York, within a few hours of each other. The Sirius had left Cork on the 4th of April, and the Great Western had left Bristol on the 8th.
The Royal William was built by Robert Black for the ‘‘ Quebec and Halifax Steam Navigation Company,” and was launched at Campbell’s ship-yard, near Quebec, on the 27th April, 1831, Lady Aylmer performing the ceremony of naming her. She was towed to the foot of St. Mary’s current, Montreal, where she received her engines, of about 200 horse-power, from Bennett & Henuer- son’s foundry, and returned to Quebec in August. Her builder’s measurement was 1,370 tons; but she was not expected to carry more than 400 or 500, owing to the space occupied by the

engines and to her sharp build. Her dimensions were as follow :— Length of keel, 146 feet ; length of deck, 176 feet; breadth of beam, 44 feet ; depth of hold, 17 feet, 9 inches. She was rigged like a three-masted schooner, with three square sails on her fore- mast, besides large fore and aft sails. Her under-deck cabin was fitted up with upwards of fifty ample berths and a large parlor, and in a round-house on deck was a spacious dining-room. When ready for sea, her cost was estimated at £16,000. She left Quebec on her first trip to Halifax and way ports, on the 24th August, 1831. This route, however, did not prove profitable, and in 1833 her owners sent her to England to be sold. On the dth of August, 1833, she left Quebec, under command of Captain John McDougall. After being detained seven days at Pictou, repairing the engines and boilers and taking in coal, she started across the Atlantic on the 17th of August. Her cargo is described as being ‘‘ natural curiosities and spars.” There were five cabin and several steerage passengers, the price of a cabin passage being £20. According to the captain’s account, he was ‘‘about twenty days on the passage, having run six or seven days with the larboard engine in con- sequence of the starboard engine being disabled, and was detained at different times about a week lying to, repairing the boilers which had become very leaky.” Gravesend was reached on the 11th of Septembe.. Some days afterwards she was sold to Joseph Somes, a ship-owner of Radcliff, and made a couple of trips to Portugal. In September, 1834, she was sold to the Spanish Govern- ment, and her name was changed to Ysabel Segunda, the first war steamer the Spaniards ever possessed. In 1837 or 1838 her hull was condemned and a new ship was built to receive the old engines.
In disputing the Royal William’s claim to priority, it has some- times been confounded with another steamer, bearing the same name, which left Liverpool for New York on the 5th of July, 1838, and consequently crossed the Atlantic after the Sirius and Great
Western.

94. ‘‘The Company of Proprietors of the Champlain and St. Lawrence Railroad” was incorporated on the 25th of February, 1832 ; but work was not begun until 1835. On the 21st of July, 1836, the first train was run over the road from Laprairie, nearly opposite Montreal, to St. Johns, a distance of 144 miles. A few days before an accident had happened to the little engine, and it was deemed advisable to attach to it only two of the passenger cars, while the others were drawn each by two horses. Some three hundred persons, including the Earl of Gosford and other high officials, were present, by invitation of the directors, to take this first trip over a Canadian railway. Next day, when the engine had been repaired, it effected the journey to St. Johns, with two passenger and two loaded freight cars, in forty-five minutes, and returned in thirty. The rolling-stock of the road consisted of the engine, of from five to six tons, of four passenger cars, each carrying eight persons, and of twenty freight cars, capable of con- veying about ten tons each. The engine cost £1,500, and the cars £1,000. The cost of the road itself was estimated at £33,500.
95. At Rouse’s Point connection was made, by the Vermont Central Railway, with the American system of railways. The Great Railway Jubilee was held at Boston, September 17, 18 and 19, 1851.
96. The railway from Toronto to Bradford was the first in Upper Canada on which locomotives were used. That between Queenston and Chippewa, built by the Erie and Ontario Company, and opened in 1839, was a horse-railway.
97. The first earthquake on record in Canada was felt at Quebec, June 11, 1638.
98. Whether there were priests with Cartier is still a vexed question, and it may be, as some writers claim, that the service was merely read by Cartier himself.

Church was being repaired, the congregation assembled for public worship during two months or more in the same church. In Que- bec also, Protestants were granted the same privilege by the Recollets, during several years previous to the destruction of their church by fire, on the 6th of September, 1796. As early as Thurs- day, May 21, 1767, the following notice appears in the Quebec Gazette ; ‘‘On Sunday next divine service, according to the use of the Church of England, will be held at the Recollets’ Church, and continue for the summer season, beginning soon after eleven. The drum will beat each Sunday soon after half an hour past ten, and the Recollets’ bell ring, to give notice of the English service the instant their own is ended.”
100. By royal letters patent of June 3, 1753, the care of the Montreal hospital was transferred to Madame D’Youville and the grey nuns.
101. Until a very few years ago it was popularly supposed that the first newspaper printed in Canada was the Quebec Gazette. It is true that in Murdoch’s History of Nova Scotia, published at Halifax in 1866, he says, under the date 1754: ‘‘In this year we find, perhaps, the earliest notice extant of a newspaper published in Nova Scotia. In a letter of Secretary Cotterell to Captain Flyer, at Piziquid, speaking of the priest, M. Daudin, he says : ‘Tf he chuses to play the bel esprit in the Halifax Gazette, he may communicate his matter to the printer as soon as he pleases, as he will not print it without showing it to me.’” But, commenting on this statement, Mr. Campbell remarked in his History of Nova Scotia, seven years later, that the paper to which Murdoch referred was first published in 1769 by Anthony Henry, that it was designated the Nova Scotia Chronicle or Weekly Gazette, and that it was edited by Captain Bulkley, who was for many years Secre- tary of the Province and a member of the Council. This seemed to re-establish, in the opinion of several writers, the priority of the Quebec Gazette, and the question was set at rest only in 1883, when there appeared an account of a discovery made by Mr. A.

Lawson, the proprietor of the Yarmouth (N.S.) Herald. This was the discovery, in the library of the Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston, of the first number of the Halifax Gazette, dated the 23rd of March, 1752, and ‘‘ published by John Bushnell, at the printing office in Grafton Street.” It appears that after some months publication was for a time suspended, and that the paper was not issued regularly until about the autumn of 1760. In 1770, upon the discontinuance of the Nova Scotia Gazette, (founded in 1762,) the title was altered to the Nova Scotia Gazette and Weekly Chronicle. The publication ceased in December, 1800.
102. The Quebec Gazette was published in both French and English until October 29, 1842; then in English only until 1874, when the paper was discontinued.
103. The Montreal Advertiser was the first daily paper published in British North America.
104. The Kingston Whig appeared in 1849 as a daily paper—the first in Upper Canada.
105. Le Fantasque was the first satirical paper published in Canada.
106. The Halifax Post was the first daily paper in Nova Scotia,

The change was made at the suggestion of Attorney-General Ward Chipman, who drafted the charter.
108. The Bank of Kingston, or, as it was subsequently called,
the pretended Bank of Upper Canada, was established at Kingston in 1819; but it soon stopped payment.
109. An Act to provide for the introduction of the decimal iystem was passed by the Canadian Legislature, August 31, 1851 ;
but it was not approved by the English Government. By another
Act, which came into force, August 1, 1854, the legal denomi-
nations of current money were declared to be pounds, shillings and pence, and dollars and cents.
