Page 2 - But during the entire period of the French domination in Canada (16081760), there cannot be said to have existed, properly speaking, Canadian literature. Indeed, it was only after the Conquest (1760) that there was a printing press in Canada, and up to that time the population numbered about 65,000, nearly all French. From that time, even, compared with the advance in the Republic over the border, the increase in all the provinces, owing to internal dissensions, and to the difficulty of governing...
