First Edition
Edition : First Edition, second issue. , Skillfully rebacked preserving contemporary blind panelled, embossed light brown full calf boards; spine raised with five (5) bands; gilt lettered title on red morocco label on two. , ?Joseph Bouchette?s books have played an important part in the geography and topography of Canada. Some them were illustrated by himself and he was also a noted cartographer.? (Spendlove pg. 86)?This work is a greatly expanded version of Bouchette?s Topographical Description, published by Faden, with some plates and maps, in 1815. Volumes I and II? were first published in 1831 by Colburn and Bently in exactly the same form, except from the different title-page imprints. Longmans reissued the book with their name on the titlepage, and they added a third volume, the Topographical Dictionary, which, as can be seen, was produced as a distinct work, with no volume indication on the title-page. (Abbey Travel)?Joseph Bouchette was a surveyor general and a militia and naval officer. From 1826 to 1829 Bouchette collected data for the book. Though he was assured of the government?s backing (the assembly had promised to buy 100 copies), as well as of support from his many friends in England, it still took him three years of effort to get three volumes published, this time only in English. The first two were entitled ?The British dominions in North America; or a topographical description of the provinces of Lower and Upper Canada?, and the third ?A topographical dictionary of the province of Lower Canada?.? (Canadian Biography)Bouchette?s regional maps and two topographical descriptions of Lower Canada are still considered an essential reference for knowledge of the territory. Bouchette became Surveyor General of Lower Canada, replacing his uncle Samuel Holland. The Township of Bouchette in Quebec was named in his honour, as well as Bouchette Street in Toronto., Size : Quarto (287x223mm)., Finely hand-coloured example.
