About This Item
London, 1839. 488,38pp. plus advertisements. Original gilt cloth. Sunned, neat bookplate. Internally very nice and clean. Head was governor of Upper Canada from 1836 to 1838. His entire administration seems to have been fraught with strife. Head appears to have been a disagreeable martinet, and this work severely criticizes those whom he felt held back his administration. An important piece of Canadiana. TPL 2275. SABIN 31133. DIONNE II:1172.
