Description:

"O God! O Montreal!" was Samuel Butler's frustrated cry in his satiric poem, "A Psalm of Montreal," published in 1878. Charles Dickens called it a "heart-burning place," and Harriet Beecher Stowe declared the city "a mountain of churches." Hugh MacLennan was more affectionate: "If this sprawling half-continent has a heart, here it is."
