Cogswell History of British Columbia 1894 The Colonist Presses. The spine looks as though it may be leather but I am not competent to declare it is. A bookplate of George Bartley appears on blank end page. Spine join a little loose There are plenty of histories of B.C. but not this one: the Library of canada has a copy and so does Laval, but nobody else in Canada according to Worldcat.

Mine is a first edition but it looks as though it is the only edition except for modern reprints.

Microform copies are available at libraries or from dealers, but as far as I can tell by searching records, no printed book has been on offer in the last ten years. The Library of Parliament has a copy, as has the Bibliotheque at Laval. But if I read Worldcat correctly, that's it as far as Canadian libraries are concerned. "Victoria B.C. The Colonist Presses, 1894 appears on the title page. Full title is History of British Columbia Adapted for the Use of Schools".

Cogswell (1857-1940) was a teacher in Victoria and almost certainly from the Nova Scotia Cogswells. . According to my lonely copy, it was he who 'entered' the book at the Department of Agriculture in 1893. Why the Dept of Agriculture? The Dominion Archives had been established in 1872 as a division within the Department of Agriculture and only became autonomous as the Public Archives of Canada in 1912.
