Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, November 1901-April 1902, Vol. 18 An utter stranger standing anywhere on the rock at Quebec on the morning of the sixteenth of September and observing the great multitudes of people in holiday attire, the regiments of soldiers passing this way and that, the city and the ships in the harbour decorated with flags, might have enquired the meaning of it all. If he were told that a Man was about to land from the great white ship which lay below, guarded up river and down by black-hulled men of war, the utter stranger might have asked: "And what has the Man done to make such a stir in the land, and to attract such a fleet on the sea?" The reply would require to have been not a recital of personal deeds, but an explanation of institutions of which the Man about to land stood in the light of a living embodiment. But Quebec on that morning was no place for a stranger and his questionings, for no one could find time to tell him that the Man was to receive a great welcome in honour of a constitutional sovereign, an open parliament, a free press, a virile literature, just judges, brave soldiers, skilful seamen, prosperous merchants and lands rich with grain.
