NOTES.
Names indented are those of administrators.
Except in the case of administrators, the date of the arrival at Quebec,
wherever I have been able to ascertain it, is that given in the second
column in the list of French Governors.
(a) Quebec was held by the English, under Louis Kirke, from July 20, 1629,
to July 13, 1632, when it was restored to France. The colony was then
governed by Emery de Caen and Duplessis Bochart, until Champlain's return,
May 23, 1633.
(b) The date given in the second column is that of Champlain's death.
Chateaufort's administration began on the day of the interment, probably
the 28th.
(c) The Marquis de Tracy, the King's Lieutenant-General in America,
arrived at Quebec, June 30, 1665, and was virtually the Governor of Canada
till his departure, August 28, 1667.
(d) The date here given in the second column is that of the registration
of the Governor's commission at Quebec.
(e) La Galissonniere was sent out to administer the Government during the
captivity of La Jonquiere, who, on his way from France, had been made
prisoner by the English.
(f) Although Amherst is usually placed first on the list of English
Governors, it is well known that after the capitulation of Montreal be
divided the province into three governments or districts, to each of which
he appointed a Governor, and that he himself very shortly afterwards left
the country and did not return. The Governors of these three districts,
during what is commonly called the period of military rule, from Sept. 8,
1760, to Aug. 10, 1764,
were as follows:
District of Quebec,
Gen. James Murray Sep. 1760 to Aug. 1764.
District of Three Rivers,
Col. Ralph Burton Sep. 1760 to May 1762.
Col. Fred. Haldimand May 1762 to Mar. 1763.
Col. Ralph Burton Mar. 1763 to Oct. 1763.
Col. Fred. Haldimand Oct. 1773 to Aug. 1764.
District of Montreal,
Gen. Thomas Gage Sep. 1760 to Oct. 1763.
Col. Ralph Burton Oct. 1763 to Aug. 1764.
(g) Guy Carleton was made a Knight of the Bath on the 6th of July, 1776.
(h) Sir Guy Carleton was named Lord Dorchester on the 21st of August,
1786.
(i) Created a Baronet on the 14th of February, 1801.
(j) On the 12th of July, 1816, Sir John Sherbrooke took the oaths of
office at Quebec, although he had previously, on the 8th of June, been
sworn in at Halifax.
(k) Sir Peregrine Maitland, Governor of Upper Canada, was sworn in at
Quebec, as Administrator of the Government of Lower Canada, on the 8th of
February. He returned to Upper Canada next day; but came back to Quebec
in March, and was again sworn in on the 17th. - Quebec Mercury.
(l) The Hon. C. Poulett Thomson was created Baron Sydenham and
Toronto in 1840. The date given in the first column is that of his
assuming the Governorship of Lower Canada, of which province he was the
last Governor. He was sworn in as Governor of the Province of Canada, on
the 10th of February, 1841, when Upper and Lower Canada were united.
(m) Acted merely as Deputy of the Governor for the prorogation of
parliament. The name is retained because it appears on other lists.
(n) Sir Charles Metcalfe was created Baron Metcalfe in January, 1845.
(o) Lord Monck was Governor of the Province of Canada until the first of
July, 1867. On that day, the Dominion of Canada was proclaimed, and he
was sworn in as the first Governor.
(p) Sir John Young was elevated to the peerage, with the title of Lord
Lisgar, on the 8th of October, 1870.
