Illustrated with 9 captioned b/w half-tone photographic images. 8vo. 8-1/8" x 5" <br/><br/>From Wiki we find that a "carillon is a musical instrument typically housed in the bell tower belfry of a church or municipal building. The instrument consists of at least 23 cast bronze cup-shaped bells which are played serially to produce a melody or together to play a chord. A traditional manual carillon is played by striking a keyboard—the stick-like keys of which are called batons—with the fists and by pressing the keys of a pedal keyboard with the feet. The keys mechanically activate levers and wires connected to metal clappers which strike the bells." <br /> <br />Here this Carillon "was installed and inaugurated in the presenced of His Excellency the Viscount Willingdon Governor General of Canada at noon on the first day of July 1927 on the occasion of the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Confederation of Canada." <br /> <br />Uncommon no copies located on OCLC.

1791WRCAM12536Quebec: Samuel Nielson 1791. Four issues. 2; 2; 4; 4pp. Printed in double-column format in parallel English and French. Folio. Slightly ragged on left margin. Very good. This extraordinary series of supplements to the QUEBEC GAZETTE demonstrates the extent to which feeling for the French Revolution had permeated the French population of Canada and the degree to which the British government was prepared to tolerate the expression of such Revolutionary sentiments. Most of the text of each issue all of the first two and part of the third and fourth is devoted to a long "Scheme of a Constitution" extracted from a late French publication entitled "Les Actes des Apotres." While recognizing monarchy as the necessary executive branch the text calls for a balance of power between the courts legislatures and executive. A surprising and interesting series to find published in Canada at this time in the same year that the Constitutional Act granted the first representative government to Canada. Not listed separately by Tremaine nor are supplements recorded in the appendix devoted to the .GAZETTE; however she notes two runs which include "almost all" of the supplements.
