Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Royal Society of Canada from inception to its activities in the late 1800s, presenting the work of its founders, early members, and the society's first president, the Marquis of Lorne. The author covers the society's objectives to foster literature and scientific research in Canada, its mandate to both publish scholarly work in the form of Transactions and to offer awards for valuable contributions to Canadian research. The author also discusses how the society's membership was divided into four sections; French literature, English literature, mathematical and physical sciences, and geological and biological sciences, each with its own officers. Importantly, the author chronicles major events in the society's history, including the recognition of the society by Queen Victoria, the passing of an Act of Incorporation by the Canadian Parliament, and the society's membership in learned foreign societies. This book will appeal to those interested in the history of Canadian science and literature, and provides insight into the vital role the Royal Society of Canada has played in the development of Canadian intellectual life.
