ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, JANUARY 9th, 1889.

 

The annual general meeting of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec was held on Wednesday morning, 9th January, in the Library of the Society, at 10 o'clock. There was a good attendance of members. After reading the minutes of the last monthly meeting, the Council Secretary, A. Robertson, Esq., submitted the annual report of the Society, for the past year.

 

ANNUAL REPORT.

QUEBEC, January 9th, 1889.

 

The President and Council of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec beg to present at this annual meeting of the Society, their reports and accounts for the past year. It is a matter for congratulation that we are able to state that, through the liberality of the Premier of the Province and his colleagues, the Government and Legislature of Quebec have restored to the Society an annual grant, to enable us to print transactions and rare manuscripts, and to otherwise prosecute our labours according to the aims of the Society. Up to 1884 the amount yearly granted us was $750. In that year it was discontinued, however, and owing to losses of membership, non-payment of subscriptions, &c, the financial position of the Society became somewhat crippled. Last year, the present Grovernment granted us $500, and we have reason to believe that that sum, if not more, will be annually placed in the estimates for our benefit. By means of that grant we have been enabled to place in the printer's hands the manuscript of a volume of transactions, which will be published early during the present winter. We have also added to the Library a large number of volumes.

 

For several years past, the Quebec Government has demanded certain original manuscripts relating to the early history of the country, which have been in the possession of the Society for a great many years. The committee appointed by the Society to confer with the Government, on the subject, satisfied themselves that the claim of the Government was legal, and that the Society was the custodian and not the owner of the papers in question. Accordingly, the Librarian handed over to the Provincial Secretary all the volumes of original manuscripts, and manuscript copies from the Paris and London archives, as described in his report, which is here appended :

 

During the year 1888, seventeen new members were elected, and fourteen withdrew from the Society. Of the latter three resigned, seven left the city, and four died. The Council regrets exceedingly the sad loss which the Society sustains in the deaths of Jean B. Dion, Roderick McLeod, for many years a talented and zealous office-bearer, the Honorable Senator James G. Ross, and the Count de Premio Real, late Consul General for Spain at this port.

 

We have an active membership of 190.

 

His Excellency the Right Honorable the Lord Stanley, Governor General of Canada, was elected patron and honorary member of the Society. The following letter of acceptance was received :—

 

CITADEL, QUEBEC, Sept. 29, 1888.

 

DEAR DR. STEWART,

 

In answer to the invitation contained in your letter of yesterday's date, I am desired by His Excellency the Governor General to say that it will give him much pleasure to become Patron and Honorary Member of the Literary and Historical Society.

 

Tours very truly,

CHARLES COLVILLE, Capt.,

Governor General's Secretary.

GEO. STEWART, Jr., Esq., D.C.L.,

Council Secretary.

 

The report of the Librarian was then read by Mr. Wurtele :—

 

The Librarian has to report that 1,839 volumes were issued during the past year to members of the Society, but 136 of these books are still out over the time specified by the rules. There have been 451 accessions to the Library, of these 109 bound volumes have been purchased ; and the remainder, consisting of 76 bound and 269 paper covered books and pamphlets, were received in exchange from other societies, and donations from the following gentlemen : Justin Winsor, G. M. Fairchild, Montague Chamberlain, Dr. G. M. Dawson, D.S.,F.G.S., Charles Baillairgé, James M. LeMoine, Esq., also the Treasurer and Engineer of the City of Quebec, and the late W. R. Baldwin, Esq., also the Dominion and Provincial Governments.

 

Through the kindness of the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, late Viceroy of India, your Society has been placed in communication with the Surveyor General and the Directors of the Geological and Archaeological Surveys of India, and has received as complete a series of their valuable reports and memoirs as could be obtained.

 

By order of the Council the Librarian delivered to the Hon. C. E. Gagnon, Provincial Secretary, the following manuscript documents, requisitioned by the Government, and a detailed account of the transaction has been placed on record in the minutes of the Society, viz : 10 volumes of original manuscripts, being : Two vols. Matières Criminelles, 1682-1746; one vol. Matières de Police et Voieries, 1683 to 1756; one vol. Matières de Police, 1695 to 1758; six vols. Matières Civiles, 1665 to 1759 ; twenty-eight vols, manuscript copies which are mentioned on page 1,448 in the Parliamentary Library catalogue of the year 1858, viz : seventeen vols, manuscript copy from the Paris Archives, detailed on pages 1451 to 1498 ; five vols, manuscript copy of memoirs, &c., detailed on page 1613 ; six vols, manuscript copy from the London Archives, detailed on page 1622 ; three vols, manuscript copy, badly damaged by fire, viz : One vol. Cahier d'Intendance ; one vol. Table des Ordonnances, résolutions, avertissements, proclamations rendues par le Conseil du Canada, 1764 to 1775, and one volume Registres des Insinuations des Cahiers d'Intendance.

 

Complete sets of the books of George Eliot, Matthew Arnold, Emerson, J. Russell Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes and Nathaniel Hawthorne, are included in the purchases of the year, but the works of Sir Walter Scott, Dickens, Thackeray and Bulwer Lytton are still in a most dilapidated and irreparable condition, but it was deemed more advisable to purchase the works of authors that were not on our shelves than to renew these old ones, but the incoming Council may see their way to procure the much needed sets of these favorite authors.
