Explore the political and legal rise of Canada from 1786 to 1806, seen through its leaders, laws, and evolving authority.
This volume surveys the later 18th century, when governors-in-chief shaped policy across provinces and new titles defined power. It follows figures like Dorchester and Smith as they navigate the balance between English and French law, and the fresh expectations of colonial government.
- The appointment of Dorchester as governor-in-chief and its impact on Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.
- Chief Justice Smith’s legal philosophy, including how the Quebec Act interacts with local and colonial law.
- Debates over trial by jury and the civil law framework in a growing, diverse province.
- Notable events such as the loss of the Speedy and the shifting administration in Upper and Lower Canada.
Ideal for readers interested in the foundations of Canadian governance, law, and the early struggles of federation-era politics.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on British rule in Canada during the late 18th Century and is the seventh volume in a comprehensive history of Canada. In this book, the author examines the Indian Wars, the Fur Trade, and the American Revolution, as well as the economic, political, and cultural life of the French-Canadian population. Along with an extensive look at the period of British rule that ran from 1763 to 1791, the book delves into the concepts of "Home Rule", the threat of invasion from the United States, and the military and political aims of both sides during the American Revolution. The book draws connections between the efforts of British officials to assert more control over government and the increasing resistance to their aims by those living in the province of Quebec.
