About this book
Published in four editions between 1907 and 1916, this book is a passionate statement on behalf of the Protestant farmers of Quebec -- particularly those of the Eastern Townships -- and remains to this day one of the most controversial politico-religious tracts ever circulated in Canada.
Author / Editor information
ROBERT SELLAR (1884-1919) identified himself as a 'Scotch radical' and espoused throughout his life a liberalism firmly rooted in nineteenth-century maxims of free trade and separation of church and state. Beginning his career in Canada as a typesetter at the Toronto Globe, he went on to become a rural newspaperman and stayed with country journalism to the end of his life.Hill Robert :
