I' CHRONOLOGY of MONTREA LJ AND OK CANADA FROM A.D. 1752 TO A.D. 1893, INCLUDING COMMERCIAL STATISTICS, HISTORIC SKETCHES OF COMMERCIAL CORPORATIONS AND FIRMS AND ADVERTISEMENTS, ARRANGED TO SHOW IN WHAT YEAR THE SEVERAL HOUSES AND CORPORATE BODIES ORIGINATED ; TOGETHER WITH CALENDARS OF EVERY YEAR FROM A.D. 1752 TO A.D. 1925, BY Kred'k Wn^- Terrill, B-A. Printed by John Loveil & Son. 1893. Entered according to Act of Parliament of Canada, in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety four, by F. W. Terrill, B.A., at the office of the Minister of Agricultnre at Ottawa. INTRODUCTION. The following work includes Calendars of 174 years, past and future, ex tending from A. D. 1752 to 1925, with chronological notes of Canadian his tory, biography and statistics, and sketches of a number of financial and commercial houses. The modern Calendars will commend themselves to all who weigh evidence, •examine titles, prepare briefs or regulate accounts. The earlier ones will enable students of history to reconcile or correct dates, immediately before and after adoption of the New Style, in England, and occasionally to disprove erroneous statements in modern history. The Calendars of the future will be useful to Almanac-makers, publishers and public officials, and will facilitate making bonds mature on week-days rather than on Sundays. No other hundred and forty-one years in recent times has been equally eventful with the last, for Canada and the World in general. At the date mentioned Canada was still a French colony, tolerant of slavery, an institution which was then protected by law, even in Puritan Connec ticut ; and the now peace-loving French Canadian was warlike and aggressive. As though anticipating inventions, which seem to annihilate space, Eng land's adoption of the prevailing mode of reckoning time was opportune. If it is starthng to receive a telegram, what would it have been to find it ante or post-dated by eleven days ? Until 1752, the year began on the 2Sth of March, in England, and on the ist of January, in Scotland. In the interval between these two new year's days, England appeared to be a year behind Scotland and was eleven days behind Cathohc countries. As an illustration of the consequent inconvenience, Addison's Essay No. 21, in the Spectator, bore dual date, " Saturday, March 24th, 1710-11," the " 11" being complimentary to Scotch, readers. The next day (25th of March) being both New Year's day and Sunday, the next Essay, No. 22 (by Steele), was dated Monday, March 26th, 17 11, the year being then common to the two countries. A bare glance at the following double dates of foreign correspondence "Paris, gsth April, o. s. 1722," and " Tuesday ,-1. May, 1722," will show how • gthMay, N.b. ' ' ' _ -"12 . fruitful of mistakes must have been the disagreement, to avoid which Statute 24th Geo. II provided that the next natural day after the second of Septem ber, 1752, should be the 14th. Thus the saying that no one, in England, drew breath between the second and the fourteenth of September, 1752, is true. This hiatus causes the Calendar of that month to have a lean appearance, and is otherwise remarkable, for, from the ist of January to midnight of the 24th of March, the only change was the substitution of 1752 for 1751 ; from midnight of the 2nd of March to midnight dividing the 2nd and 14th of September, the Calendar of 1752 was (with the exception of the hiatui) exactly as if there had been no legislation ; and, beginning with the last mentioned date, continuously to the present time, the Gregorian Calendar entirely replaced the Julian. An Act of Parliament extended the new Style to the British possessions in Asia, Africa and America, so the thirteen colonies had, from Great Bri- itain, the style of supputation which French colonists brought to Canada. Among numerous advantages of complete over abbreviated, or perpetual Calendars, the former prove each other, are more quickly used and do not induce mistakes. A so-called perpetual Calendar, lately in use by one of the wealthiest men in Canada, makes A.D. 1900 a leap year, contrary to the Act above cited, under which, years divisible by 100, and riot by 400, are not bissextile. Among the convenient tests of Calendars are the Journals of the House of Commons, according to which Parliament sat on- Friday (" ^/« veneris "\ the 31st of January, 1752; the 31st of October, 1752, fell on Tuesday, (" dies Martis"), and the i ith of January, 1753, on Thursday (" dies Jovis"). Every Essay in the Rambler furnishes a test, e.g., essay number 207 bears date Tuesday, loth of March, 1752. Burrows' Law Reports afford many dates, from Monday, 8th November, 1756 to 1772. Another authentic date is the U. S. Declaration of Independence, on Thursday, the 4th of July, 1776. Reckoning from any known point, since 1752, and observing that the first and last days of common years fall on the bame week-day and the first and last days of leap years on succeeding week-days, that 1800 was not, and 1900 will not be, a leap year, one can speedily assure himself that these Calendars have been rightly calculated. They have been compared with partial Calendars of 5 4 years, from 1805 to 1859, calculated by the late Reverend Moses Lopez, of Newport, Rhode Island, with the Quebec Almanacof 1827, Armour's Montreal Almanac of 1829, Stark's Almanacs from 1842, and with Brooks' and Miller's Almanacs from later dates. To illustrate the use of Calendars in testing history : on page 132 of Sandham's " Montreal," the breaking out of the City's most devastating fire is dated Thursday, July 9th (1852), but the 9th was Friday. The inference is that the honored author of that valuable work connected the day of the month, on which the news was published, with the week-day on which the fire started. On page 135 of the same work, the celebration ofthe opening of the Grand Trunk Railway to Portland is stated to have occurred on Monday, i8th June, 1853, and, as the i8th ac,tually fell on Saturday, and the news was doubtless published in Montreal on the following Monday, the author has evidently made the opposite mistake, of joining the right day of the month and the week-day the news was published. As Chronology has the advantage over history, that it is less offensive to state facts than to impute motives, the present notes are brought up to date and may serve to recall other links in the chain of recent affairs. The paragraphs concerning Vermont may seem, but are not, disgressive, for No. XI of the " Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union" invited Canada "to all the advantages of this Union," while humiliating the New Hampshire Grantees (Vermonters) by the clause, " butno other colony shall be admitted into the same, unless such admission be agreed to by nine States," — nine out of thirteen, whereof two were inimical and one large and influential. Threatened with invasion by New York, New Hampshire and by Congres sional forces, as well as from Canada, it is not surprising that leading Ver monters, with the Governor's approval, discussed, with British officers, terms of reconcihation, nor that Vermont long deferred accepting a tardy offer of admission to the Union, nor that, in 181 2, the Governor of Vermont disapproved of the War which ruined half the merchants and cost half the shipping of the United States. Exceptional attention is given to matters of 1829, in order to preserve a record of facts contained in a semi-official almanac which preceded the Directories of Montreal, and maybe the only copy extant. The Calendars of single years generally indicate the holidays ; but, believing that approximation to the old rule, "Six days shall thou labor and do all thy work," will lighten the general task ; and learning that the Legislature is about to abolish one or more of these burthens ofthe rich and poor, the author avoids the likelihood of misleading the public by attaching existing holidays to the Calendars of nearly a third of a century to come. It is hoped that the accompanying statistics, if not of general interest, will be of value to the economist. They favor Reciprocity of Trade with the United States ; but in vain, for it was the experience of the Detroit Conven tion and of the favorable report of a special committee of the New York Legislature, that the only certain result of sound arguments in favor of reciprocal trade was to arouse the opposition of every adverse interest. Short histories and advertisements of some contributors to Canada's com mercial prosperity will be found arranged according to the years in which they, or those whose good-will they inherited or acquired, began business. — ¦=>e53< >§<^- Chronology of Montreal AND OF CANADA, WITH CALEND.^RS.

S.), — M. de la Jonquiere, Governor of New France, dies — possessed of £40,000. — July, — The new Governor, Duquesne, a soldier, being instructed to prepare for war, keeps the farmers under arms, to the neglect of tillage. 14th Sept. (N. S.), — Under the Old Style of reckoning timCj every year exactly divisible by 4 had 366 days. As this had the effect of lengthening the year to such an extent that in the i6th century, New- Year's day fell ten days later than it should. Pope Gregory XIII influenced Catholic countries to drop ten days of October, 1582, by way of correcting the Calendar. Protestant countries delayed making the correction until this century, when England, tardily following the example of Germany, Denmark, Holland and Switzerland, cancels eleven days of September, and reckons the four teenth as the next day after the second of this montii, under a statute passed last year. Hitherto the year began on the 25th of March, in England ; though, on the ist of January, in Scotland. To prevent further error, years divisible by one hundred are not to be leap years, unless also divisible by 400. Accordingly, A.D. 1900 will not, and 2000 will, be a leap year. Ten ships, of from 40 to 100 tons burthen, are built for the Canadian trade. A.D. 1753. SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY. THURSDAY. . FRIDAY SATURDAY.. JANUARY. FEBRUARY. MARCH.

An historian says of Wolfe : — " He crowded into a few hours actions that would have given lustre to length of life ; and, filhng his day with greatness, completed it before its noon." Learning that he had but a few hours to live, Montcalm says : — " So much the better ; I shall not live to see the surrender of Quebec."

French Canadians are indignant at Enghsh judges' interpretations of French laws and at their conducting proceedings in the English tongue. — Apr.,— A report, by the English Crown lawyers, Yorke and De Grey, says : — " It is a maxim of the law of nations, to allow the old laws, of a van quished people, to subsist, at least, till their conquerors substitute new, while it is oppressive and violent to change, suddenly, the laws of any country ; hence wise conquerors, after having provided for the material security of their acquisitions, will innovate slowly, and let their subjects retain all such usages as are indifferent in their nature, especially those which regard the rights of property." " We cannot introduce among them, at one stroke, Enghsh law of property, with its forms of conveyancing, alienation, fines, its modes of shaping deeds and interpreting contracts, or our laws of succession, without committing manifest wrong, or, at least, occasioning the greatest confusion. English men, who buy property in Canada, both can and should conform themselves to the laws regarding it. " They recommend reinstating Gallo-Canadian civil procedure. 22 A. D. 1766.

Lord Chancellor Camden declared, respecting the right to tax America : — " Taxation and representation are inseparable ; this proposi tion is founded on the laws of Nature ; it is itself a law of Nature ; for what ever is a man's own is absolutely his own. No man has a right to take it from him without his consent ; whosoever attempts to do it, attempts an injury; whosoever does it, commits a robbery. " Yet, he does not oppose a duty on tea, paper, glass, etc., imported into the Colonies. Canada and Nova Scotia keep aloof from the troubles which tend to alienate other colonies. A. D. 1768. i6th Oct.,— Lord Camden says :— " It is now manifest that the whole Continent will make common cause. After both sides are half ruined in the contest, we shall, at last, establish a right which ought never to have been exerted.

Edmund Burke supports the proposed constitution for Canada, saying that : — "To attempt to amalgamate two populations, composed of races of men diverse in language, laws and habitudes, is a complete absurdity. Let the proposed constitution be founded on man's nature, the only solid basis for an enduring government." Fox declares that England can retain Canada " through the good will of the Canadians, alone." Lord Grenville, denying that Canadian attachment to French jurispru dence is due to prejudice, says it is founded " on the nobjest sentiments of the human breast." The Province is divided into Upper and Lower Canada. The population of Canada, of European descent, is assumed to be between 150,000 and 160,000, of whom about 10,000 live in Upper Canada, mostly descendants of United Empire Loyalists. The new constitution provides for a Legislative Council of 15 members, 48 A.D. 1791. SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY.THURSDAY... . FRIDAY SATURDAY . . . JANUARY. FEBRUARY. MARCH.
