The Dominion Annual Register And Review For The 12Th-20Th Year Of The Canadian Union 1885 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354214516)

A revealing ledger of a young nation. Essential reading for serious historians. The Dominion Annual Register and Review for the 12th-20th Year of the Canadian Union (1885), by Henry Morgan, stands as a definitive Canadian historical register and a nineteenth-century reference book. Part annual review anthology and part official chronicle, it assembles Canadian parliamentary records, contemporary commentary and summary accounts of public institutions to illuminate confederation-era politics, policy debates and civic life in Victorian Canada. Its clear headings and chronological approach make complex civic change readable: ministers, measures and public affairs sit beside economic notes and social observations, offering both a snapshot and a running dossier of late 1800s Canada. Casual readers curious about the texture of Victorian Canada will find accessible narrative and context, while researchers and historians discover orderly primary material for study of Canadian Union history, government and society in Canada or for tracing legislative developments across sessions. Historically significant as a near-contemporary witness, the register gives direct access to the language and priorities of the confederation era and belongs in any academic library collection that values documentary sources. Its year-by-year structure helps map policy shifts and local impacts and complements newspapers and private papers of the era. Journalists, teachers and historical novelists alike will draw authentic period detail from its pages. Genealogists and local historians will find names, dates and official contexts that amplify other records; collectors and bibliophiles will prize its place among Henry Morgan's works as a tangible link to Victorian Canada. 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. Carefully prepared for modern readers, this restored nineteenth-century reference book is both a practical research tool and a satisfying object for casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike.
