But the Citadelthe prize of battle betweenthe races, the key and throneof empire, still crowds therock which stands a majesticwarder at the portal of theUpper St. Lawrence; andthe city with its narrow,steep and crooked streets,crouching under its guardian fortress, recalls an age of military force and fear in contrast to the cities ofthe New World, with their broad and straight streets .spreading out freely in the security of industrialpeace. The late Henry Ward Beecher has also written interestingly of the place, as a relic of the mediaevalera, untouched by the eddying rush of modern progress. Curious old Quebec ! he writes, of all thecities of the continent of America the most quaint ! It is a peak thickly populated !
