Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of the Isle of Orleans: Being a Paper Read Before the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec, on Wednesday Evening, the 4th of April, 1860But apart from these natural advantages, the Island is not wanting in Historical Recollections, and it is chie¿y on this account that I have selected it as the subject of this Evening's Paper.Within but four miles from the Citadel of Quebec, and forming not the least attractive spot in the Harbour, is the south-w est End ofthe Isle of Orleans, with its green banks sloping down to the very water's edge, relieved by a cluster of white cottages at the extreme point, and a grove of pine trees on the crest of the Hill, called the Crow's Nest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
