The association of the Sainte Famille was founded by the Jesuit Chaumonot at Montreal in 1663. Laval, Bishop of Quebec, afterwards encouraged its establishment at that place; and, as Chaumonot himself writes, caused it to be attached to the cathedral. Vie de Chaumonot, 83. For its establishment at Montreal, see Faillon, Vie de Mlle. Mance, i. 233. Lettre de Frontenac au Ministre, 13 Nov., 1673.
We do not know very much about her social intercourse with the different families of Quebec, but it is not probable that she ignored Madame Hébert or her family, as Faillon seems to believe.
This was the gratuitous grant of a large tract of land at the place now called La Chine, above the great rapids of the same name, and eight or nine miles from Montreal. On one hand, the place was greatly exposed to attack; and on the other, it was favorably situated for the fur-trade. Sulpice, cited by Faillon. La Salle called his new domain as above.
Belmont, Histoire du Canada, 1645, gives a succinct account of the fight, and indicates the scene of it. It seems to have been a little below the site of the Place d'Armes, on which stands the great Parish Church of Villemarie, commonly known to tourists as the "Cathedral." Faillon thinks that Maisonneuve's exploit was achieved on this very spot. Quebec and Montreal are happy in their founders.
In relation to these disputes, I have received much aid from the research of Abbe Faillon, and from the valuable paper of Abbe Verreau, Les deux Abbes de Fenelon, printed in the Canadian Journal de l'Instruction Publique, Vol. While writing to Frontenac in terms of studied mildness, the king and Colbert took measures to curb his power.
Then Fenelon mounted the pulpit. Certain passages of his sermon were obviously levelled against Frontenac. I have examined the principal of these. Faillon himself is a priest of St. Sulpice. La Salle sat near the door, but as the preacher proceeded, he suddenly rose to his feet in such a manner as to attract the notice of the congregation.
He says that the Iroquois fell upon the Hurons at the outset, and took twenty-three prisoners, killing many others; after which they made the attack at Villemarie. Relation, 1643, 62. Faillon thinks that Vimont was unwilling to publish the treachery of the Hurons, lest the interests of the Huron mission should suffer in consequence.
Sulpice has, however, in our time turned out a theologian like M. Carrière, whose vast labours are in many respects remarkable for their depth; men of erudition like M. Gosselin and M. Faillon, whose conscientious researches are of great value, and philologists like M. Garnier, and especially M. Le Hir, the only eminent masters in the field of ecclesiastical critique whom the Catholic school in France has turned out.
Among them they raised the sum of seventy-five thousand livres, equivalent to about as many dollars at the present day. Juchereau doubles the sum. Faillon agrees with Dollier. On all that relates to the early annals of Montreal a flood of new light has been thrown by the Abbe Faillon. As a priest of St.
