Item description from seller

8vo. pp. 6 p.l., 76(index), 2(errata), li, [1], 372, vi, 26, A-I, K-Y. with half-title. A very good copy in original cloth-backed bds. (paper spine label chipped). Signed Presentation copy dated 1835 to Dr. Alexander Wylie, Matilda, from his friend Archibald McLean, M.P.P. [1791-1865]. First Edition of this famous report, an eloquent and forceful indictment of the Family Compact Government, largely written by Scottish-Canadian journalist and politician William Lyon Mackenzie, who chaired the committee. The grievances of the Reformers are listed in detail: concern regarding the excessive power of the executive branch in Upper Canada and the campaigning of government officials for Tory politicians during elections, criticism of companies like the Welland Canal Company that mismanaged funds given to them by the government and the salaries of officials who received patronage appointments. Demands are made for an elective legislative council and responsible government. A landmark document in the political history of Upper Canada. Mackenzie represented York County in the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada and was elected the first mayor of Toronto in 1834. He led the rebels in the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1837, and after its defeat, he unsuccessfully rallied American support for an invasion of Upper Canada as part of the Patriot War against British imperialism. Interestingly this is a signed presentation copy given the year of publication by lawyer, politician, and later judge, Archibald McLean, who was a rising member of the Family Compact. As a colonel of the militia during the 1837 rebellion, he was involved in routing the rebels in Toronto, commanding the left flank of the loyalist forces under ColonelJames Fitzgibbon in the attack on Montgomery’s Tavern.
