Excerpt from Guide to the City of Quebec: Descriptive and Illustrated
Quebec is no prosaic modern town. It is a city to be once thoroughly seen and then for ever delight fully remembered. But this cannot be done even superficially in twenty-four hours. It takes a much longer time to get acquainted with all its beauties, and all its manifold objects of historic or legend ary interest. It is only to the visitors so disposed that all the memory-haunted scenes of its mighty and glorious past unroll themselves. In fact, every stone in the walls of Quebec has a history and every spot of ground is sanctified by undying souvenirs.
