183243941London: John Murray 1832. Very Good. 12mo. 16.5cm vii120p rebound in green cloth with gilt spine titles ex-libary stamps text is clean rare. Our third copy. T.P.L. 4974. Sabin 10610. Morgan p113. William "Tiger" Dunlop 1792-1848 was one of the most colourful figures in Canadian history. He served in the War of 1812 as an assistant surgeon and settled in Canada in 1826 as an agent for the Canada Company. His witty engaging personality and drinking exploits are legendary. Dunlop never travelled without his "Twelve Disciples" eleven bottles filled with various potent substances and one bottle called "Judas" filled with water. His Statistical Sketches is an entertaining work mixing some small practical advice with much tomfoolery fully exploiting the author's humourous persona. He remarks for example in his chapter on climate that Upper Canada had the healthiest climate on earth as whisky could be purchased anywhere for a shilling a gallon. John Murray unknown

Bound in what is likely the original binding of paper-covered boards with cloth spine and paper spine label. Cloth partially split along rear joint mild spine slant evidence of removal of bookplates on pastedowns. Occasional foxing but overall quite clean. A supplement to Dunlop's earlier work Parochial Law. According to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Dunlop "was a firm supporter of the party later known as the non-intrusionists which wished to limit the power of patrons to appoint ministers to Church of Scotland parishes. In 1830 Dunlop was elected to the general assembly of the Church of Scotland.Dunlop thus arrived on the national stage just as the evangelical party was moving to a position of dominance in the church. He became an active member of various church societies including the Church Law Society and the Anti-Patronage Society and by 1834 he was editor of the Presbyterian Review the journal of the evangelicals and non-intrusionists.He was to play a leading role in most of the controversies in the 'ten years' conflict' which resulted in the Disruption of the Church of Scotland in 1843. He acted as counsel for the non-intrusionists and the presbytery of Auchterarder in what became a test case heard in 1838 and 1839 on the legality of the Veto Act. By this measure the non-intrusionists had sought to restrict the power of patrons to present nominees to vacant parishes by making it conditional on a measure of popular assent.
