Casgrain, John Hamilton, Rev. F. G. Scott, Col. Wood, Dr. Harper, A- Robertson, E. T. D. Chambers, P. Gagnon, C. Tessier, W. Clint, Col. Neilson, James Geggie, A. H. Cook, J. G. Scott, D. Watson, H.

After routine proceedings the President read the report of the Council for the past year as follows.—

 

ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1909

 

The Council of the Quebec Literary and Historical Society has the honour to submit the following report upon the work accomplished during the year that has just closed.

Not much of an unusual nature has occurred during the past year, but on the whole the progress of the Society has been satisfactory. There has been a slight increase in membership, we having lost 11 during the year and gained 16. This makes a net gain of 5 and brings the total membership to 174.

 

Considering our limited constituency and the fact that all the members of a family have the privileges of our library when the head thereof is a subscriber, the advantages we have to offer are pretty widely used. However, there is still room for an expansion of our membership list.

 

During the year this Society has become a member of the recently formed Champlain Society, whose yearly publications will hereafter be received. All the publications from the inception of that Society to the present time have been received and are on our shelves. It is a matter of gratification to us that one of our own members and past presidents, Col. Wood, is responsible for an important volume in the works of the Champlain Society, and is engaged on another.

 

Your Council was invited last June to extend some welcome and hospitality to the members of the International Council of Women who, to the number of one hundred, passed through Quebec on their way from the British Isles, Europe, and Australia to the quadrennial meeting which was held in Toronto. A Committee, consisting of Col. Turnbull, Col. Wood and the President, organized a reception of the distinguished guests under the Presidency of Her Excellency the Countess of Aberdeen at a luncheon at the Chateau Frontenac. The guests were met at the docks, were driven around the City, taken to Montmorency by train, and at the end of the day were conveyed to the train without any expense to themselves. Although the members of the Committee felt that it was an honour for the Society to be so well known as to be entrusted with such a task, they thought that the Society itself should not be called upon to meet the expenses necessarily incurred thereby. Accordingly an appeal was made to the City Council, which was supported by the Mayor, Sir George Garneau, and resulted in a contribution of $250. The balance was generously contributed by the following persons to whom the thanks of the Council are hereby tendered.—Col. J. F. Turnbull, Mr. H. M. Price, Col. Neilson, Col. Wm. Wood, Dr. Geo. Parmelee and Alderman P. Campbell.

 

Your President received and accepted an invitation to deliver an address before the International Council in Toronto, when he was gratified to hear from many sources the liveliest expressions of gratitude for the reception in Quebec, and words of praise for the opportunity of visiting the chief historical city of Canada.

 

It will be remembered that Dr. Douglas undertook last year to publish a fac-simile of the well-known Père Marquette Prayer Book that was in possession of Col. Neilson and to give it to the Society for distribution as a memorial of the Tercentennial. The distribution has now been made to Universities, to a few distinguished individuals and to those learned societies from which we have received valuable exchanges in the past.

 

It is well-known that the late Judge Aylwin bequeathed to the Governors of Morrin College his large and valuable library, consisting not only of law books, but of classical and general works, some of them now quite rare. Recently the Governors of Morrin College have fitted up a spacious room adjacent to this and have had the books placed upon shelves. At present a catalogue is being made. Although this library is not under the control of the Literary and Historical Society it may be said that negotiations are now under way by which it is expected that the members of this Society will have free access to the Aylwin Library and to the books therein.

 

The continued and practical interest in this Society was shown last year not only by a direct contribution from the Governors of Morrin College to the general funds of the Society, but by a special contribution which enabled the joint lecture committee of the two bodies to invite distinguished lecturers from a distance to address the citizens of Quebec in this building. The Council is glad to report that a course of lectures under similar arrangements is provided for this season.

 

The Council has thought for some time that the insurance carried upon the Library and its contents was altogether inadequate, and in consequence it has increased the policies form $6,500. to $16,500 quite recently.

 

It will have been noticed that several portraits have been hung upon the walls of this building during the past few months. This is in pursuance of a plan to leave some permanent memorial, before it is too late, of the distinguished past presidents of this Society from the first, the Hon. Chief Justice Johathan Sewell, down to such of the past presidents as will allow themselves to be so honoured while living.

 

The financial condition of the Society is now stronger than it has ever been before in its history. The most recent benefaction, that of Dr. Douglas of $10,000, which was reported at the last annual meeting, is now producing returns to the amount of $480 yearly, $9,000 being invested and $887.50 being still to invest.

 

Since our last meeting four members of this Society have passed over to the silent majority. Dr. Colin Sewell, whose family name has been on our roll of membership for the past 86 years and whose own place in the affections of the citizens of Quebec was unique, Mr. Simeon LeSage whose interest in all that pertained to history and literature was well-known to members of this Society, Mr. Armitage Rhodes and Mr. David Rea, all are men whose loss we deeply deplore.

Quebec, 12th January, 1910.

 

REPORT OF TREASURER.

 

Mr. James Geggie presented his Annual Report as Treasurer.

 

It showed a balance to the credit of the Society of $1,059.72. Subscriptions from members $665.00. Disbursements for Magazines and Periodicals $192.55, and for new books $535.81.

The Governors of Morrin College kindly allowed the Society the use of the Rooms free of rent.

 

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT

 

The report of the Librarian Mr. E. T. D. Chambers was as follows :—

 

For the last two years your Librarian has been so fortunate as to be able to report unprecedented activity in the work of the Library and a largely increased issue of books from its shelves. Two years ago it was shown that the circulation for the preceding year had reached the large number of 4592 volumes, against 3941 reported twelve months before. Last year the report showed a still larger increase, making a total output of books circulated during the year, of 5,130. Still larger and more gratifying is the progress which has been made during the year just ended, the circulation showing a total issue of 6,167 volumes, or an increase over the preceding year of no less than 1,037 books.

 

In fiction, 4,503 volumes were issued in 1909, as compared with 3,390 in 1908 ; history shows a falling off from 554 to 367, and biography from 404 to 324. On the other hand there has been a largely increased demand for books on almost every other subject of major importance in such a library as ours, and especially for those pertaining to general literature, the issue of which has increased from 256 to 346. A good increased demand is noticeable for books on sport and travel and science and art.

 

It is very satisfactory to note that the number of books now out of the library for over two weeks is only 207 out of the 6,167 issued during the year, a rather smaller proportion than last year-

 

Apart from the usual unbound exchanges from sister societies, and others, we have to acknowledge 62 bound volumes of exchanges and donations, while 44 c volumes have been added to the library by purchase, against 242 during the preceding year.

 

Our thanks are due to Mr. D. C. Thomson for a splendid Gallery of Illustrations of Shakespeare's works, to Professor Wrong for the Review of Historical Publications relating to Canada, for 1908, to Judge McCorkill for a copy of the History of Brome county, to Colonel B. A.

 

Scott for three old sword blades, to Mr. F. C. Wurtele for the Diocesan Gazette for 1909, to Mr. P. Gagnon for a copy of Quebec il y a cent ans, to Mr. P. G. Roy for the Bulletin Recherches Historiques for 1909, to the late Mr. David Rae for the Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers, to Mr. David Mitchell for a bound volume of the Weekly Chronicle, to Mr. F. McLennan for a copy of The Struggle for Imperial Unity, by Col. Denison, to the Chronicle Printing Company for the bound volume of the Chronicle for 1905, to Mr. F. A. Chisholm for "Joseph Howe—a sketch," to kMr. J. M. Pusher for the Perfect Way, and to other individuals and institutions, who have favored us with contributions to the Library, some of them, anonymously.

 

But more than to anybody else is the Society indebted to the Governors of Morrin College and to Dr. James Douglas, to whose liberality is mainly due the great bulk of the additions to the Library, irrespective altogether of their many other benefactions to the institution.

 

The whole, nevertheless, respectfully submitted.

 

E. T. D. CHAMBERS,

Hon. Librarian.
