scattered in manuscripts and printed volumes, like grains of gold through the river sands, facts that need only to be carefully separated from the rubbish in which they are imbedded, and brought into their proper connection with each other, to become of more than golden value as illustrative of our early annals. Many loving
laborers have wrought diligently in this field, but much, very much yet remains to be done.
I propose to make the principal theme of my discourse to-day, De la Motte Cadillac and the first ten years of the history of our city, during which he was commandant.
