The study of Gabriel Christie's investments in, and operation of, Chambly Mills in the late eighteenth century provides insight into the role of a small-scale seigneurial enterprise in the rural economy. Despite the sizable investment involved, the flour mill employed only a small number of permanent wage workers, and other cash expen- ditures were minimal. The mill can therefore be seen to have operated within a traditional structure of rural society rather than as a force for change. The mill, however, also depended on artisanal labour and a link between the establishment of the mills and the growth of the village is suggested. Seigneurial investment may have been a major factor in the increasing number of villages in Lower Canada between 1815 and 1831. A need for further study of the role of seigneurial capital in the wider economy is indicated, an area which the focus on centralized and large-scale industries has left virtually unexplored.

Examines the gendered division of labour in Newfoundland with a focus on fishing in the rural outports. Provides a history of women's presence in Newfoundland, including the growth of families as more women arrived as well as outport settlement. Documents the work done by women in the domestic sphere, including their control and supervision of onshore sundried fish drying for the market, a practice that lasted into the 1950s. Concludes that, although fishing was male-dominated, women's role both as settlers and shore crew enabled them to negotiate actively in the formation and development of the relationship of production.
