the Monastery." "Scenes from the Hist. of the Ursulines of Quebec,"
1639-1839, "by a Member of the Community," 90. Charlevoix, "Histoire
de la Nouvelle-France," III., 322, expressed a similar opinion in
1721, and Collot, "Journey in N. A.," I., 232-3, shows that the
Illinois French of 1796-7 were a case in point.

facing 183, 195. A number of maps in Hopkins', "The Home Lots of the
Early Settlers of the Providence Plantations," especially the one
following page 17, show that the same form of holdings existed in
Providence, R. I. For reasons for this form, see the note by Emma
Helen Blair, in Thwaites', "Jesuit Relations," IV., 268-9. Stiles,
"Ancient Windsor," I., 149, has a map showing such holdings in
Windsor, Conn., 1633-1650.
