Report of the Council of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec, for the Year 1874[1]

 

[Originally published by the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec in Transactions, New Series, No. 11 (1875)]

 

YOUR Council is happy to be able to report that the past year has again been one of unabated prosperity ; ninety new members have been elected ; only eight have resigned; and we have to lament the death of but one, Capt. W. P. Brown, late of the 7th Fusiliers. There now stand on the list of Associate Members three hundred and fifty names.

 

There have been added to the Library, one hundred and ninety-four volumes acquired by purchase, and one hundred and eighty-four by donation. Two thousand six hundred and fifty-three volumes have been taken out.

 

At the stated meetings the following papers were read:

 

On January 21, 1874.—'Inner Life on board a man-of-war", by Commander Jephson, R.N.

 

On February 4, 1874.—"On the Currency of Canada under the French Domination", by J. Stevenson, Esquire.

 

On March 14, 1874.—"On the Early French Settlements in North America", by J. Langton, Esquire.

 

On April 18, 1874.—"On the Sieges of the Last Great War, and the changes introduced by modern weapons", by Col. Strange.

 

But as such of these, as the Printing Committee decided on publishing in the Transactions, do not fill a volume of the usual size, it has been deemed better to defer the issue of a new number till another year. But there has been printed, and is now in the hands of the binders, a new edition of the "Mémoires sur le Canada depuis 1749 jusqu'à 1760", originally published by the Society in 1838.

 

The Misses Neilson have generously offered to entrust to the keeping of the Society the invaluable collection of books made by the late Hon. John Neilson. For the safe preservation of those that are most rare, the governors of Morrin College have, with their wonted generosity, placed at the disposal of the Society one of the arched cells in the basement, which can, at a moderate cost, be made fire-proof. In it also should be preserved, against further risk, the society's own valuable manuscripts.

REPORT OF THE CURATOR OF THE MUSEUM,

FOR THE

YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31ST, 1874.

 

WHILST congratulating the Society on the extension which the Museum has attained, the undersigned does not think himself warranted in recommending the purchase of the large specimens of our Fauna, such as the deer, cariboo and bear of the country, inasmuch as the locale wont admit of it. Efforts have been made this summer to increase the number of birds, in the skin, acquired for purposes of exchange with other societies. Arrangements were recently entered into to preserve, classify and exhibit to advantage, our new collection of bird's eggs. This collection is susceptible of being much increased. It is to be hoped it will, as it has a most practicable bearing on ornithological pursuits. Several medals and coins have been added to our selection. Steps ought to be taken to procure all those Canadian medals in relation to the history of the Dominion; this would enhance still more the value of our Museum in the eyes of Numismatists and Archeologists. Some very beautiful Ferns and Algae have been presented us from British Columbia by a benefactor, who so far, has thought proper to conceal his name. A vote of thanks was publicly returned in the newspapers, in hopes it might catch his eye. The list of donations is herewith given. Permission has been granted to Mr. James Harrower, the present owner of Brigadier-General Richard Montgomery's Sword, to deposit for safe keeping in our Museum, the curious old relic of the siege and blockade of Quebec in 1775.

 

Measures ought to be adopted to increase the department of Indian war trophies, dresses, arms and utensils. The undersigned begs to recommend further additions to the Ornithological branch of the Museum, which seems to afford both pleasure to visitors and facilities to study and understand the Fauna of Canada.

 

The whole respectfully submitted.
