Canada under British Rule 1760-1900 Part 14

Prof. Bryce (London, 1882); _History of the North-west_, by A. Begg (Toronto, 1894); _The Great Company_, by Beckles Wilson (Toronto and London, 1899); _Reminiscences of the North-west Rebellions_, by Major Boulton (Toronto, 1886). A remarkable _History of the Hudson's Bay Company_, by Rev. Prof. Bryce (London, New York and Toronto, 1900). For British Columbia:--A. Begg's _History_ (Toronto, 1896).

For the literary progress of Canada, consult:--_The Intellectual Development of the Canadian People_, by J.G. Bourinot (Toronto, 1881); _Canada's Intellectual Strength and Weakness_ ("Trans. Roy. Soc.

Canada," vol. XI, also in separate form, Montreal, 1893), by the same, contains an elaborate list of Canadian literature, French and English, to date. The 17 volumes of the same Transactions contain numerous valuable essays on French Canadian literary progress.

Other valuable books to be consulted are:--_Canada and Newfoundland_ in Stanford's _Compendium of Geography and Travel_ (London, 1897), by Dr.

S.E. Dawson, F.R.S.C.; _The Statistical Year Book of Canada_, a government publication issued annually at Ottawa, and edited by Geo.

Johnson, F.S.S.; _The Great Dominion_ (London, 1895), by Dr. G.R.

Parkin, C.M.G., LL.D., the eloquent advocate of imperial federation for many years, merits careful reading. _Canada and the United States_, in Papers of the Amer. Hist a.s.soc. (Was.h.i.+ngton, July, 1891), and _Canada and the United States: their Past and Present Relations_, in the _Quarterly Review_ for April, 1891, both by the present author, have been largely used in the preparation of the last chapter of this book.

With respect to the boundaries of Canada and the English colonies during the days of French dominion, and from 1763 until 1774--_i.e._ from the Treaty of Paris until the Quebec Act--consult a valuable collection of early French and English maps, given in _A Report on the Boundaries of Ontario_ (Toronto, 1873), by Hon. David Mills, now Minister of Justice in the Laurier government, who was an Ontario commissioner to collect evidence with respect to the western limits of the province. Consult also Prof. Hinsdale's _Old North-west_ (New York, 1888); _Epochs of American History_, edited by Prof. Hart, of Harvard University (London and Boston, 1893); _Remarks on the French Memorials concerning the Limits of Acadia_ (London, 1756) by T. Jefferys, who gives maps showing clearly French and English claims with respect to Nova Scotia or Acadia "according to its ancient limits" (Treaty of Utrecht). These and other maps are given in that invaluable compilation, Winsor's _Narrative and Critical History of America_. See also Mitch.e.l.l's map of British and French possessions in North America, issued by the British Board of Plantations in 1758, and reprinted (in part) in the _Debates on the Quebec Act_, by Sir H. Cavendish (London, 1839). For text of Treaties of Utrecht (1612), of Paris (1763), of Quebec Act (1774), and other treaties and imperial acts relating to Canada, see Houston's _Doc.u.ments_, cited above, p. 329. The maps of Canada and the disputed boundary in Alaska, which I give in this book, are taken from the small maps issued in 1899 by the Department of the Interior at Ottawa.
