About the Author
Henry Scadding wrote the definitive history of early Toronto in 1873. His detailed portrait of the city is a goldmine of sights and insights into a Toronto long-since disappeared. The later version Toronto of Old, edited by Frederick H.

This second edition is an updated and corected version of the 1966 edition.
