Synopsis

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.
