Chronicles of Canada Volume 05 - Seigneurs of Old Canada: A Chronicle of New World Feudalism

No power of Western Europe since the days of Roman glory had possessed such facilities for conquering and governing new lands. If ever there was a land able and ready to take up the white man's burden it was the France of the seventeenth century.
