Excerpt from The Province of Quebec and the Early American Revolution: A Study in English-American Colonial History The present study was undertaken as one in English co lonial history, and my first thought was closely to investi gate governmental conditions in those parts of North America that did not join in the movement of revolt, not only just before and during the War of Independence, but also for such a period beyond that struggle as might Show its more immediate effects on English colonial policy. The claims of other work have required the abandonment of the greater part of this undertaking, and the present publica tion deals only with the Province of Quebec, from its acquisition in 1760 down into the Revolution. As an insti tutional study the investigation ends with the Parliament ary settlement of the constitution of the province by the Quebec Act of 1774; but as a contribution to the history of the American revolution it has gone far enough into the first years of the war to show the main connections of Can ada with that event. These connections seemed to offer an important and unexplored field of investigation, and have therefore been emphasized to a degree not originally in tended. On both sides of my work institutional and revo lutionary, - the Quebec Act becomes the central point. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The First Legislators of Upper Canada The Government of Quebec, bounded on the Labrador Coast by the River St. John, and from thence by a line drawn from the head of that river through the Lake St. John to the south end of the Lake Nipissing; from whence the said line, crossing the River St. Lawrence and the Lake Champlain in forty-five degrees of north latitude, passes along the highlands which divide the rivers that empty themselves into the said River St. Lawrence from those which fall into the sea; and also along the north coast of the Baye des Chaleurs and the Coast of the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Cape Rosieres, and from thence crossing the mouth of the River St. Lawrence by the west end of the Island of Anticosti terminates at the aforesaid River St. John. Allowing for some incongruities in these lines we find that by this proclamation the part of Ontario lying east of a line drawn from Cornwall to the south-western end of Lake Nipissing was then included in Quebec. By the Quebec Act of 1774 the boundaries were carried westward to include the remainder of Ontario to the Great Lakes and also a portion of the present United States lying east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio River.
