Excerpt from Toronto, Old and New: A Memorial Volume, Historical, Descriptive and Pictorial, Designed to Mark the Hundredth Anniversary of the Passing of the Constitutional Act of 1791, Which Set Apart the Province of Upper Canada and Gave Birth to York, Now Toronto
HE recent phenomenal growth and the marvellous development of the trade and industry of Toronto, together with the increasing attractions of the city both as a place of residence and as the metropolis of the Province, have led the Proprietors of the mail to prepare a work of a somewhat ambitious character which shall deal with the chief features of its local history and civic life. The work which now appears, it is hoped, will prove in some measure worthy of the occasion which it is designed to commemorate, namely, the completion of the first century in the synchronous annals of the Province and its Capital.

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. Armstrong, is shorter than the original, with Scadding's references to outside cities and characters shortened or omitted to give the book a sharper focus on Toronto. This second edition is an updated and corected version of the 1966 edition.
