520 _aDuring the journey he took through the United States, with the aim of writing a book ordered by the publishing house Firmin-Didot, Paul de Rousiers made a short trip to Canada at the end of May 1890 accompanied by photographer Georges Rivière. There he met Léon Gérin, his colleague at La Science sociale. Gérin showed the two men around the parish of Saint-Justin where he was engaging in his first field observations, observations he would later use to write L’habitant de Saint-Justin, a classic of Canadian sociological literature.
