settlement. With Maisonneuve, at the historic ceremony which gave birth
to the future city of Canada, were Montmagny, governor of Quebec,
Vimont, superior of the Jesuits, Madame de la Peltrie, and Mademoiselle
Mance. Several years later another heroic woman, Marguerite Bourgeoys,
joined the builders of the infant town. In 1653 colonization began in
earnest, and in 1667 Montreal counted a population of 766. Its later
history has been largely one of material progress. =Index=: =Hd= Levis
