Alphabetical directories of banks, benevolent and religious societies, clergy of all denominations, crown land agents, custom houses and officers of customs, government departments and employees, militia, newspapers and periodicals, ports of entry, registrars and railway and steamboat routes throughout Canada are all included.

Rebound in the half calf of the United Kingdom Incorporated Law Society, with endpapers renewed. With their stamp to the title page, and to a small number of leaves throughout.

A fascinating guide to Canada in the mid nineteenth century.
