What Our Customers Say...

Description

Colour Plates, First Edition, Folding Maps, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

A very scarce publication from the Public Archives of Canada in Ottawa.

This volume compiles official documents, correspondence, and legislative materials that shed light on the political and constitutional development of Canada during the period following the Constitutional Act of 1791.

It includes material relating to the establishment and administration of Upper and Lower Canada, debates over governance, and relations between colonial authorities and the British government.

The records in this volume cover the years 1791-1818.

Illustrated with three folding maps. Collated, complete.

With the stamp of the General Staff Library War Office to the front board and title page.

A fascinating resource for the study of early Canadian constitutional history.
