Excerpt from The Province of Quebec: Geographical and Social Studies Though written chiefly for the general reader, this book can fairly claim to be a pioneering work in one essential way, because it is the first which has made any connected attempt to describe a Canadian province in accordance with the scientific principles of modern regional geography. During the last thirty years geographical literature has been developing along new lines of scientific, historical, and human interest. The development, however, has been much more marked in Great Britain and on the continent of Europe than on this side of the Atlantic. So far as Great Britain is concerned credit for the advanced work now being produced in Modern Geography is undoubtedly due in the first instance to the Royal Geographical Society. In the seventies of the last century that Society made strong representations to the universities of Oxford and Cambridge on behalf of the recognition of Geography in the university courses.
