Quebec

Québec in the early 1880s:

'We look down this time from no elevation guarded and crowned with verdure and forest but from a great cliff circled with ramparts, which defend a citadel fashioned, indeed, according to the ancient system of fortifications, with ditches, glacis, and casemated walls wrought in heavy masonry. Past us and below us flows a river with a flood hardly less rapid than that of the Niagara, and far wider, and bearing on its stream many vessels. Steamers are there from many a European port, and a large fleet of sailing merchantmen crowd the wharves and coves along the shore, where they are loading with timber.'
