About this book

During these years of rebellion and political crisis in Canada, the traditional political and economic bases of Britain's colonial system were being revised with the coming of free trade and the acceptance of responsible government. This collection of documents presents the views of a small, influential group of Englishmen on Canadian questions and imperial relations.
