The Seigneurs of Old Canada is a historical book written by William Bennett Munro that explores the social and economic structure of the French Canadian society during the 17th and 18th centuries. The book delves into the lives of the seigneurs, who were the aristocratic landowners of the time, and their interactions with the habitants, who were the farmers and laborers that worked on their land. Munro examines the role of the Catholic Church in shaping the culture and values of the society, as well as the impact of the British conquest on the seigneurs and their way of life. The book provides a detailed account of the seigneurial system and the feudal relationships that existed between the different classes of people in Old Canada. Through his research, Munro sheds light on the complex social dynamics of this fascinating period in Canadian history.It was during one of her proud and prosperous eras that France began her task of creating an empire beyond the Atlantic. At no time, indeed, was she better equipped for the work. 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.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
