elala6217Toronto: M.Reynolds Printer to the Hon. the House of Assembly 1835. First Edition of this famous report an eloquent and forceful indictment of the Family Compact Government largely written by Scottish-Canadian journalist and politician William Lyon Mackenzie who chaired the committee. The grievances of the Reformers are listed in detail: concern regarding the excessive power of the executive branch in Upper Canada and the campaigning of government officials for Tory politicians during elections criticism of companies like the Welland Canal Company that mismanaged funds given to them by the government and the salaries of officials who received patronage appointments. Demands are made for an elective legislative council and responsible government. A landmark document in the political history of Upper Canada. Mackenzie represented York County in the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada and was elected the first mayor of Toronto in 1834. He led the rebels in the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1837 and after its defeat he unsuccessfully rallied American support for an invasion of Upper Canada as part of the Patriot War against British imperialism. Interestingly this is a signed presentation copy given the year of publication by lawyer politician and later judge Archibald McLean who was a rising member of the Family Compact. As a colonel of the militia during the 1837 rebellion he was involved in routing the rebels in Toronto commanding the left flank of the loyalist forces under Colonel James Fitzgibbon in the attack on Montgomery’s Tavern.

1990713h5973Canada: P.C.A.V.F. Fine. 1990. First Edition. Paperback. "Exciting events and dramatic changes have occurred during the first 50 years of logging the Chemainus River valley. The outstanding achievements of the operation were accomplished by the superb efforts of all those who have worked there. The long term plan to continue producing high quality logs at 1990 production levels or higher on a sustained yield basis will undoubtedly require as many changes in the next 50 years as we have seen in the past history of the operation. We trust that someone will pictorially record these changes so that those reviewing the history of copper Canyon in 2040 after a century of production can smile as we do today at the inefficiencies of our early efforts." - page 2. 44 pages.

1835List2711St. John New Brunswick British North America 1835. Three 8 x 13 inch pages folded. Toning at folds; fine. With a clipping from the Quebec Gazette Monthly March 1835. Fine. Little biographical information is available on Thomas Kent save that he was a sailor aboard the Britannia and that the newspaper clipping included here identifies him as “a colored man.†Offered here is a notarized copy of Kent’s testimony concerning the wreck of the Britannia and the consequent deaths of its Captain Thomas Millidge Walker its mates Woodward and Elliot and its cook George Monroe who was also a Black man.<br /> <br /> The Britannia was owned by New Brunswick merchants Isaac and John G. Woodward who may have requested the notarized testimony for insurance purposes: the notary writes that it was written on their behalf and emphasizes that:<br /> <br /> “That the capsizing of the said Brigantine and her subsequent loss arose solely from the excessive violence of the Gale and a tremendous Sea and not from any default or negligence of the Captain or Crew.â€<br /> <br /> The ship had sailed from New Brunswick on December 21 1834 for Berbice in Dutch Guyana with a load of lumber and fish. Six days later the ship’s trials began. Kent testifies that the Britannia:<br /> <br /> “was hove to in a violent gale of wind from the north West; that a few minutes before midnight a very heavy sea struck her and capsized her on her beam-ends; . That this appearer i.e. Kent was washed overboard when the sea struck the vessel but fortunately succeeded in getting on board again when he discovered three other Seamen on Deck.â€<br /> <br /> According to the clipping the other survivors were James Potter William Phillips and Thomas Gibb. They survived solely because they had been on deck; the others “being below were drowned in the Cabin.â€<br /> <br /> The storm began to let up the next morning but “this appearer and the other three Seamen remained on the wreck nine days nearly all of which time it blew a gale of wind.†The men survived “by their fortunately catching a shark on which and a few potatoes that floated up from below they subsisted.†After nine days they were rescued by the Caledonia a packet ship traveling from New York to Liverpool. Arriving in Liverpool three weeks later the men are still not recovered from the ordeal:<br /> <br /> “one of the Seamen saved afterwards died in the Infirmary at Liverpool from fatigue and exposure; . this appearer was also so ill in Liverpool from the same causes that his life was greatly despaired of.â€<br /> <br /> Overall a harrowing account of interest to scholars of maritime history and Canadian history and of Black people’s roles therein. unknown
