Excerpt from The French Canadian in Quebec and New England
His home is chie?y in the province of Quebec, of which Voltaire contemptuously said in 1763, after its cession to England Only a few thousand acres of snow Superabundant snow, indeed, in winter but in summer a land that compares favorably with the northern regions of New England. The region south of the St. Lawrence, about fifty by one hundred and fifty miles, between Montreal and the boundary of the United States, is very fertile, as also some sections north of the river. Below Quebec the soil is poorer. Her great pine forests have been a source of wealth.
