The Dominion Annual Register And Review For The Eighteenth Year Of The Canadian Union 1884 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354187261)

A voice from the 1880s that still speaks plainly. A measured portrait of nationhood. Henry J. Morgan's The Dominion Annual Register And Review For The Eighteenth Year Of The Canadian Union 1884 is both handbook and historical ledger: a yearbook of the Canadian Union compiled to record public affairs in a single, decisive year. Organised as a sequential register and annual historical review, it draws together parliamentary reports, government returns and contemporary summaries of political events in Canada, offering a compact but rich canadian historical register. The form is direct and documentary; the themes are governance, nation-building and the routines of public administration in nineteenth century Canada. Accessible to casual readers and indispensable for researchers and historians, it functions as a clear canadian studies reference and a primary source for canadian confederation history and 1880s Canadian history. As a contemporary compendium, the register illuminates the debates, policies and administrative practices that shaped early Confederation and secures its place in the study of Victorian-era politics. Long-form administrative returns sit alongside concise narrative summaries, so a single volume serves both chronological reconstruction and quick fact-checking. The balance of official record and brisk reportage gives the register a rare double life: research-grade resource and readable chronicle of public life. Its assembly of canadian parliamentary records and government reports anthology material makes it practical for enquiries and citation, while its approachable pace appeals to classic-literature collectors seeking authentic nineteenth-century Canada voices. Suitable for citation-rich scholarship and for the curious browser, the register helps reconstruct legislative sequences and the rhythms of public debate. Librarians, archivists and academics will find it straightforward to integrate into canadian studies reference collections and course reading lists. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
