A setterie yields about one pice, and my informer supposes there are about two setteries in an arpent. |
In New France, an arpent measured about 60 metres. |
In the regions of small farms, and of the mtayer system, he gets fifteen sous the arpent, eight sous and even six sous. |
Their first home was on the arpent town lot near the hospital. |
The corn-lands here rent for about fifteen livres the arpent. |
The measurement of the arpent varied from an acre to an acre and a half. |
