Octavo. 109 pages. Losses on front wrapper, interior in fine condition. Christopher Dunkin (1812-1881), lawyer and judge, is known for this Address : "Dunkin also gained renown as a result of his brilliant Address at the bar of the Legislative Assembly of Canada . . . , published at Quebec in 1853, and his defence of 35 seigneurs before the special tribunal set up in 1855 to adjudge the claims made following the passage of the 1854 Act dealing with the seigneurial system. Using well-researched documentation he put forward a solid, logical argument, demonstrating by extensive historical analysis that the seigneurs exercised an absolute right of property over their domains, for which they could legitimately claim compensation equal to the market value. His successful defence in this difficult case quickly brought him into the front ranks of the legal profession, and the substantial fees he received from it enabled him to finance future ventures"(DCB).
