Excerpt from The Fisheries of the Province of Quebec, Vol. 1: Historical Introduction Mr. C. J Simard, Assistant Secretary of the Province of Quebec, and Mr. Evanturel, in charge of the provincial archives, have afforded me every facility for consulting the manuscript sources of information in possession of the de partment, while to the Hon. J Douglas Hazen, Minister of Marine and Fisheries for the Dominion of Canada, to Mr. Johnston, Deputy Minister, and to Mr. Found and other officials of that department, I am under obligations for the loan of important documentary matter bearing upon a later period of our fisheries than that chiefly dealt with in the fol lowing pages, but which will, it is hoped, form the subject of a subsequent report. That ???crin de perles ignor???es, - as Frechette so aptly calls the history of our dear Province of Quebec, holds many priceless gems of religious fervour and patriotic de votion, but among its ever-to-be cherished jewels of courage ous daring and lofty ambition for home and country and people, and the extension of legitimate influence and power, must surely be counted, also, those bold plunges of the pioneer fishermen of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, into practically un known western seas, and those fearless attempts to establish the first sedentary fisheries on Canadian soil, amid the un civilized aborigines of Gaspesia and the yet more savage Esquimaux of Labrador, often in the face of hostile fleets, and subject to the ravages of roving pirates, who pillaged and wrought destruction with fire and sword both at sea and on shore.
