The inscription on the tablet reads as follows:— 
“1611—1911.” 
“The first European Settlement in New Brunswick was established 
on this Island, called Emenenic, in 1611, by Capt. Merveille and others 
from St. Malo, France. 
New Brunswick Historical Society, August, 1911.” 
Our Society at its meeting in March last adopted the following 
resolution ; 
“ Resolved, that the New Brunswick Historical Society has learned 
with much satisfaction of the establishment by the Dominion Govern= 
ment of a commission to preserve the relics at Quebec of the Colonial 
Wars period, and of a grant of $100,000 having been provided for that 
purpose. The Society, however, felt that equally good reasons exist 
for the erection of memorials in honour of heroic men and heroic deeds 
in other parts of the Canadian Dominion. The Society would strongly 
recommend that steps be taken by the Government for the preserva- 
tion of existing historic relics in the maritime provinces at such places 
as Annapolis Royal, Louisburg, Beauséjour, Fort la Tour, etc., and 
also the erection of suitable memorials, at various places, to preserve 
the memory of heroic men and heroic deeds.” 
Our Society united with the sister Society of Nova Scotia in pressing 
this matter upon the Dominion Government and has learned with 
satisfaction that the scope of the Quebee commission will in all proba- 
bility be widened so as to include other places in Eastern Canada.
