splendid resorts on the north shore: Murray Bay with its sublime Alpine scenery, rugged Cap a l’Aigle, and charming St. Irénée.

And then Quebec, the old-world city, the capital of the province, the historic centre of Canada and all America, the city of \Volfe and Montcalm! Surely the thought of her glories brings a flush of pride to the faces of French and British alike. N0 city in all America is more famous than this.
