"Canada under British Rule 1760-1900" is a seminal work by John George Bourinot that delves into the historical period of Canada's development as a British colony. In this insightful book, Bourinot examines the political, economic, and social dynamics that shaped the nation during this critical era. With meticulous research and a comprehensive approach, Bourinot explores the impact of British rule on Canada's governance, institutions, and society. He delves into topics such as the Quebec Act of 1774, the Constitutional Act of 1791, and the challenges and conflicts that arose during the rebellions of 1837-1838. The book delves into the complex relationships between the British Crown, colonial administrators, and the diverse communities that inhabited Canada during this period. Bourinot's exploration of economic developments, including the fur trade, railway expansion, and industrialization, offers valuable insights into Canada's economic transformation.

This monograph on the intellectual development of the Dominion was delivered in substance as the presidential address to the Royal Society ofCanada at its May meeting of 1893, in Ottawa. Since then the author has given the whole subject a careful revision, and added a number ofbibliographical and other literary notes which could not conveniently appear in the text of the address, but are likely to interest those who wish tonfollow more closely the progress of culture in a country still struggling with the difficulties of the material development of half a continent. This littlevolume, as the title page shows, is intended as the commencement of a series of historical and other essays which will be periodically reproduced,in this more convenient form for the general reader, from the large quarto volumes of the Royal Society of Canada, where they first appear.

The great educational advantages that the people of Canada now enjoy, and more especially in the premier Province of Ontario--as the splendid exhibit recently made at Paris and Philadelphia has proved to the world--are the results of the legislation of a very few years. A review of the first two periods of our political history affords abundant evidence that there existed in Canada as in Europe much indifference in all matters affecting the general education of the country. Whatever was accomplished during these early times was owing, in a great measure, to the meritorious efforts of ecclesiastical bodies or private individuals.
