A propos de cet article

First edition. Octavo. 20pp. Sewn green printed wrappers. Text in French, printed in two columns. A few small chips and short tears on spine and covers, moderate wear and light dust soiling, else a very good copy of a fragile item. Abbe P. J. Verbist, a pioneer in encouraging Belgian immigrants to come to Canada, was appointed immigration agent for the Quebec government in Western Europe. In 1872 he published *Les Belges et les Alsaciens-Lorrains au Canada in 1872*; he succeeded in attracting a number of immigrants - merchants, manufacturers, artisans, and market gardeners - who settled around Quebec City. Verbist also encouraged Trappist monks to found a monastery at Sainte-Justine, southeast of Quebec City, which would attract Belgian farmers to the neighborhood. He had a brief career as a parish priest, which was terminated due to his work in the import business, as it was in violation of diocesan regulations. Uncommon. *OCLC* lists four holdings, all in Canada. N° de réf. du vendeur 550457
