Description

xxxvii, [1], 747 pages. Index. Footnotes. Bibliography. "Examines Ontario's formative years, focussing on Essex County in Ontario from 1788 to 1850. Upper Canadian attitudes to land and society are shown to have been built on contemporary visions of the cosmos. Shows how almost unbridled acquisitiveness, and its concomitant land speculation, could promote or hinder development." - half-title page. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Appears unread. An excellent copy. Book
