Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Seigniorial System in Canada: A Study in French Colonial Policy Not a few thoughtful readers have laid aside Parkman´s interesting little sketch of Canadian feudalism with some desire to know more about an institution which played such a picturesque and conspicuous part in the stirring drama of the old regime in French Canada. It was this desire that prompted, some ten years ago, the beginnings of the present study, which in due time was elaborated into a dissertation and presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science at Harvard University, and which in 1900 was awarded the Toppan Prize in that institution. The whole study has since been revised, somewhat rearranged, and considerably enlarged. It is now given to the press with a feeling that, whatever its organic and incidental defects, no apology need be offered for the publication of a volume dealing with a topic so important in the institutional history of New France, and yet hitherto so slightly studied by writers on the policy and achievements of France in the New World. It has been my aim to base the study of the structure and workings of the seigniorial system in Canada wholly upon primary materials, - to accept, so far as possible, no point of importance from other than authoritative sources.
