Beauties of the StLawrence . In a fewmoments we round the great head of Cape Diamond, and the ancientcity of Champlain appears before us in all its picturesqueness andantiquated attractions. See Naples and die, is an Italian saying ; See Quebec and live would be more appropriate. Let us at once land, and through narrow, winding streets, up mountainous hills, between rows of ancient looking structures we climb, for half a mile, until we reach the most magnificent promenade in the world, the Dufferin Terrace.

Beauties of the StLawrence . In a fewmoments we round the great head of Cape Diamond, and the ancientcity of Champlain appears before us in all its picturesqueness andantiquated attractions. See Naples and die, is an Italian saying ; See Quebec and live would be more appropriate. Let us at once land, and through narrow, winding streets, up mountainous hills, between rows of ancient looking structures we climb, for half a mile, until we reach the most magnificent promenade in the world, the Dufferin Terrace. Higher still, if you like, we will work our way up to the foot of the hoary old citadel, and there look down upon a scene that cannot be duplicated, either in the Old World or in the New. Beneath us is Quebec, an historical hyphen, a connecting link between the days of the old regime and the present. All the memory-haunted scenes of a glorous past, in panoramic succession, sweep before our gaze. Under our view are the antique gables, the peculiar OLD STAIRWAY FROM WOLFES COVE TO THE HEIGHTS OF ABRAHAM, i6 The Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Companys
