Strana 434 - French customs, but nearly all were affected "by the need for the things which come from us, the use of which has become to them an indispensable necessity. They have abandoned all their own utensils, whether because of the trouble they had as well to make as to use them, or because of the facility of obtaining from us, in exchange for skins which cost them almost nothing, the things which seemed to them invaluable, not so much for their novelty as for the convenience they derived therefrom.
Strana 420 - The hunting by the Indians in old times was easy for them. They killed animals only in proportion as they had need of them. When they were tired of eating one sort, they killed some of another. If they did not wish longer to eat meat, they caught some fish. They never made an accumulation of skins of Moose, Beaver, Otter, or others, but only so far as they needed them for personal use. They left the remainder where the animals had been killed, not taking the trouble to bring them to their camps.

Strana 124 - Utrecht in 1713 included only the southern part of the peninsula of Nova Scotia. The English Commissioners were able, however, to cite examples of much wider use of the name, which as a matter of fact was applied very differently by different writers. The history of the entire controversy over the subject is given in a " Monograph on the Evolution of the Boundaries of the Province of New Brunswick" in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada, VII., 1901, ii.
Strana 506 - S par la grace de Dieu Roy de France & de Navarre : A tous ceux qui ces presentes Lettres verront, salut.
Strana 250 - Let us see now whether the vine can come there to full maturity. In the first place, it is certain that the country produces the vine naturally, that it bears a grape which matures to perfection, the grain being as large, perhaps, as the Muscadine. As to its juice, that is not so [20] pleasing, since it is wild, and its skin is a little harder. But if it were transplanted and cultivated as is done in France, I do not doubt that its wine would be as good.
Strana 562 - Castors ; pour cela its cherchent un ruisseau qui passe par quelque endroit etroit, dont les cotes soient hautes, comme entre deux montagnes ou cotteaux, & ou les bois, la terre, & tous les matereaux propres a leur travail se trouvent en cet endroit-la ; ils [285] font une digue ou chaussee, il s'en voit de cent cinquante & deux cens pas & plus de longueur, & de huit, dix, onze & douze pieds de hauteur, & sont aussi larges en leur base avec un talus proportionne a sa hauteur en sorte qu'elle suit...

Strana 71 - Cinquante personnes ce qui se trouvera au dessus make the succeeding years : In default of this the lands which shall not then be occupied will be reunited to the domain of the said Company, which will have power to dispose of them according as may seem best to it, without the said Sieur Denis being able to pretend to any claim of seigniory or proprietorship, which conditions have been accepted by the said Sieur Denis : In faith whereof we have signed these presents, and have had them countersigned...
