Discover how Upper Canada planned funding for a Protestant clergy through early laws and land policy.
This edition compiles legal texts and committee notes that shape the administration of clergy lands, sales, and related financial procedures. It covers how lands were allotted, how funds were to be collected and used, and the governance structures that supervised these processes in the province’s Protestant church system.
The material highlights the mechanisms for land sales, receipts, and accountability, as well as the roles of district commissioners and government officials. It also presents several provisions that link land policy to broader goals like education and church endowment, all set within the framework of imperial and provincial authority.
Ideal for readers of Canadian colonial history and legal reform, as well as anyone curious about how state policy shaped religious establishments in the province.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author explores the complex history of and competing claims against the Clergy Reserves in Upper Canada. Enacted in the 18th century, the Clergy Reserves were lands set aside to support Protestant clergy and religious instruction in the colony. However, questions about the appropriation of these reserves arose in the 19th century, as the Church of Scotland and other Protestant denominations laid claim to the land. The author explores these claims within the broader context of the role of the Protestant religion in the British Empire and the development of Upper Canada, providing a detailed overview of legal opinions, debates, and proposed legislation regarding the Clergy Reserves. They conclude that the resolution of these debates about the Clergy Reserves was vital, as it would determine the future of religious support in the province, and ultimately helped to shape the religious and political landscape of Upper Canada.
