General recapitulation (in French) of the Province of Quebec for the year 1784.

According to the enumeration which I had made at the end of 1784, which gives an interval of about 24 years, there were 113,012 souls in the Province, without counting those in Detroit, and the Baie dee Chaleurs, or the loyalists, settled since the peace, which shows an increase of 36,890 souls. Another note states that by a return dated the 4th of June, 1785, the number of militia was 28,249 men.
