Excerpt from Old Montreal New: Illustrated With Over One Thousand Engravings of the City's Chief Institutions, Churches Statues, Homes and Citizens, Both of the Past and of to-Day Since the world began its Creator planned for Montreal. The beauty of this city has been handed down through the ages. The beasts of the field and the birds of the air, and for aught we know a human race have enjoyed this spot from time eternal. We who love it now can tell of but a few years of all that time; less than four hundred years of the ages that old Mount Royal has stood guard over our home. We only know that in 1535 a white man, the first of our race, Jacques Cartier, gazed upon this scene, and because he was the first his name is deathless. He sailed away. What would the world do to-day, less than four hundred years later, if an adventurous captain should report the discovery of such a land? Yet we know that seventy years elapsed before the next white brother came. Two generations had come and gone and the story of the mountain, the island, and the river which Cartier brought back to France had been lost in antiquity while Mount Royal waited these years in solitude. Then came Champlain, the founder of Quebec, and looked upon the scene and sailed away. In 1642, one hundred and seven years after the first report of the new land, came Maisonneuve, the pioneer, the builder, and began our home for us; and through the few short years since then we have a history - one of the most fascinating to be sure, of any city upon this continent, and one which has been told in many ways and at many times. The story though old is ever new, and it is the purpose of this work to tell the story of these years through the interesting medium of the photograph; to illustrate the growth and development of this great city from the earliest recorded times down to the date of going to press.

Surrounded by water and located at the heart of a fertile plain, the Island of Montreal has been a crossroads for Indigenous peoples, European settlers, and today's citizens, and an inland port city for the movement of people and goods into and out of North America. Commemorating the city's 375th anniversary, Montreal: The History of a North American City is the definitive, two-volume account of this fascinating metropolis and its storied hinterland. This comprehensive collection of essays, filled with hundreds of illustrations, photographs, and maps, draws on human geography and environmental history to show that while certain distinctive features remain unchanged – Mount Royal, the Lachine Rapids of the Saint Lawrence River – human intervention and urban evolution mean that over time Montrealers have had drastically different experiences and historical understandings. Significant issues such as religion, government, social conditions, the economy, labour, transportation, culture and entertainment, and scientific and technological innovation are treated thematically in innovative and diverse chapters to illuminate how people's lives changed along with the transformation of Montreal. This history of a city in motion presents an entire picture of the changes that have marked the region as it spread from the old city of Ville-Marie into parishes, autonomous towns, boroughs, and suburbs on and off the island. The first volume encompasses the city up to 1930, vividly depicting the lives of First Nations prior to the arrival of Europeans, colonization by the French, and the beginning of British Rule. The crucial roles of waterways, portaging, paths, and trails as the primary means of travelling and trade are first examined before delving into the construction of canals, railways, and the first major roads. Nineteenth-century industrialization created a period of near-total change in Montreal as it became Canada's leading city and witnessed staggering population growth from less than 20,000 people in 1800 to over one million by 1930. The second volume treats the history of Montreal since 1930, the year that the Jacques Cartier Bridge was opened and allowed for the outward expansion of a region, which before had been confined to the island. From the Great Depression and Montreal's role as a munitions manufacturing centre during the Second World War to major cultural events like Expo 67, the twentieth century saw Montreal grow into one of the continent's largest cities, requiring stringent management of infrastructure, public utilities, and transportation. This volume also extensively studies the kinds of political debate with which the region and country still grapple regarding language, nationalism, federalism, and self-determination.

At Dwell, we're staging a minor revolution. We think that it's possible to live in a house or apartment by a bold modern architect, to own furniture and products that are exceptionally well designed, and still be a regular human being. We think that good design is an integral part of real life. And that real life has been conspicuous by its absence in most design and architecture magazines.
