It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the social and economic structure of colonial Canada.It was during one of her proud and prosperous eras that France began her task of creating an empire beyond the Atlantic. At no time, indeed, was she better equipped for the work. No power of Western Europe since the days of Roman glory had possessed such facilities for conquering and governing new lands. If ever there was a land able and ready to take up the white man's burden it was the France of the seventeenth century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
