About this title

Synopsis

The British Colonial Library, Comprising A Popular And Authentic Description Of All The Colonies Of The British Empire, Their History--Physical Geography--Geology--Climate--Animal, Vegetable, And Mineral Kingdoms--Government--Finance--Military Defence--Commerce--Shipping--Monetary, by Robert Montgomery Martin, is a comprehensive 19th?century survey of the British colonies, here especially focused on Canada. The work blends narrative history with geography, geology, climate, and natural history, and extends to the structure of government, finance, military defence, commerce, shipping, and monetary systems. It provides an expansive account of Upper and Lower Canada, tracing Canada’s discovery, early colonization, and the long arc of colonial conflict from French and British rivalries through the British conquest, followed by the development of settlement, population, religion, education, and emigration. Richly illustrated with maps and statistical tables, the volume assembles a transatlantic portrait of Canada within the British Empire, offering readers both historical context and practical details pertinent to governance, commerce, and colonization during the period.
