A HISTORY

OF THE

LATE PROVINCE OF

LOWER CANADA,

Parliamentary and Political,

FROM THE COMMENCEMENT TO THE CLOSE OF ITS EXISTENCE
AS A SEPARATE PROVINCE;

Embracing a period of Fifty Years, that is to say :-from the erection
of the Province, in 1791, to the extinguishment thereof, in 1841,
and its reunion with Upper Canada, by act of the Imperial Parlia-
ment, in consequence of the pretensions of the Representative
Assembly of the Province, and its repudiation, in 1837, of the
Constitution, as by law established, and of the Rebellions to which
these gave rise, in that and the following year; with a variety of
interesting notices, financial, statistical, historical, &c., available
to the future historian of North America, including a prefatory
sketch of the Province of Quebec, from the conquest to the passing
of the Quebec Act, in 1774, and thence to its division, in 1791,
into the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada; with details of
the Military and Naval operations therein, during the late war
with the United States; fully explaining also the difficulties with
respect to the Civil List and other matters; tracing from origin to
outbreak, the disturbances which led to the reunion of the two
Provinces.
