Report of the Council of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec, for the Year 1880[1]

 

[Originally published by the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec in Transactions, New Series, No. 15 (1881)]

 

 

The Literary and Historical Society held their annual meeting on Wednesday, the 12th January instant, the President, J. M. LeMoine, Esq., in the chair. After routine the following reports were read:—

 

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL

 

The Council of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec have the honor to report to the members of the Society, that since the last annual general meeting, there has been the following change in, and addition to, the members of the Society.

 

They have to note with regret the loss by death of an esteemed Vice-President, Dr. William Boswell, whose experience and advice, more than once has been of service to the Board. Also, of three other associate members, Rev. G. Hamilton, Charles Henry, Inspector of the Quebec Bank, and John Lindsay, Provincial Land Surveyor.

 

The transfer of the B Battery of Artillery from Quebec to Kingston, Ont., has also deprived this Institution of the active co-operation of another honoured Vice-President, Lt.-Col. T. Bland Strange, Dominion Inspector of Artillery, and Commander of the B Battery. Few here will have forgotten how powerfully be contributed in 1875, to the success of the historical celebration, which will ever stand success of the historical celebration, which will ever stand in the annals of this Society, as a Red Letter Day, the centenary of the repulse of Brigadier-General Richard Montgomery and Col. Benedict Arnold, before Quebec, in 1775.

 

The Museum has lost its Curator, Dr. Hubert M. Neilson, removed to Kingston with the B Battery.

 

By resignation and removal from the city, the Society has lost five members; on the other hand, four corresponding members have been elected, as well as thirty-three new names have been added to the list of associate members. The following papers were read before the Society:— January 15th, 1880.—Lecture by General B. Hewson; subject: "The Canadian Pacific Railway."

 

January 29th, 1880.—A paper by George Stewart, jr., Esquire; subject: "Alcott, the Concord Mystic."

 

May 13th, 1880.—An extempore address by Woodford Pilkington, Esq., Civil Engineer; subject: "The Principles and Practice of Art."

 

November 29th, 1880.—The opening lecture of the season 1880-81 was delivered by the President, J. M. LeMoine, Esq.; subject: "The Scot in New France."

 

December 17th, 1880.—A paper was read by Prof. J. Campbell, M.A., Montreal; subject: "The Origin of the Aborigines of Canada."

 

Since the last annual general meeting, the library has been increased by the addition of three hundred volumes, selected in the spirit calculated to further the aims contemplated in the charter of this Association, the promotion of science and history, especially that of our own country, in their higher departments.

 

The report of the Librarian gives the particulars of the purchases and donations of books, during the last year.

 

The absence of the Curator of the Museum, Dr. Hubert Neilson, deprives us of a report. In his absence the care of this important department has devolved on the President, who is enabled to state that due attention has been bestowed, on the preservation of the specimens of natural history and other objects constituting the Museum; want of space has prevented any considerable addition.

 

The report of the Treasurer which will be submitted, the Council hopes, will satisfy the members that a strict watch has been kept on receipt and expenditure.

 

No change has taken place with regard to the custodian of the rooms, nor in the terms, under which they are leased from the Morrin College, the relations with which like, in the past, continue satisfactory.

 

Letters are received daily asking for our Transactions and historical publications, from individuals or from scientific bodies in the United States. Several invitations have also been sent on behalf of Historical Societies in the adjacent Republic, to meet delegates assembled to commemorate the anniversary of notable literary or historical events. Circumstances unfortunately prevented the delegates named by this Society, from attending. These invitations, calculated to strengthen that bond of good fellowship, which at all times ought to exist, between associations formed for one common object—the culture of science and history— indicate also that the publications and literary labours of this association are gradually finding their way and obtaining recognition far beyond the boundaries of the Dominion.

 

The Society will doubtless rejoice at the large number of names on the roll of associate members, and therein recognise conclusive proof that the efforts made to enlarge the sphere of its usefulness have not been unsuccessful.

 

The Council has favored the publication of historical documents relating to the early history of Canada—one of the chief objects contemplated in its charter; the list of such publications to be found in the appendix to the Transactions clearly demonstrate that the public funds annually granted have not been misapplied.

 

It has been asked why the Council did not enter into arrangements with the American Bureau of Lectures, with the view of bringing here eminent Public Lecturers: had such an application of the funds of the Association not been contrary to the requirements of the charter, the very great expense attending such an undertaking alone would have been an insuperable barrier,

 

Respectfully submitted,

J. M. LEMOINE,

President

Quebec, 12th January, 1881.

 

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT

 

The librarian in making his usual report has no salient circumstances to present. The library continues to be appreciated by members, as the issues for the year numbering 4,669 shew. The reading room seems to be more used than ever, and the magazines and journals lying on the tables receive constant attention, which is natural when we consider that periodicals are assuming prominent places in the field of literature, and when bound in volumes they from additions to the library of permanent interest. The additions to the library by purchase and donations have been 300 volumes. One member places on the table regularly a file of the London Daily News, an example worthy of imitation by others. In conclusion, the members are reminded of the numerous standard works at their disposal, not mere ephemeral productions, but English and French classics, contributions to history, especially that of our own country; books which have borne the test of time and which merit a perusal from all who aim at a well stored mind.

 

Respectfully submitted,

R. MCLEOD.
