In any migration there are a number of factors which act as obstacles to the migration flow (factors) and a number of agencies which operate to overcome these obstacles. This study examines in turn those factors that assisted and directed Scottish emigration to Upper Canada between 1815 and 1855. Its focus is on a dynamic aspect of population - migration - and it examines in detail the spatial distribution of a variety of factors, influencing and directing the movements of large numbers of people. Eight major factors are evaluated as to their influence over time on the character, volume and direction of this emigration. These eight factors are qualitatively ranked on the basis of the factors' role in overcoming various obstacles and the number of emigrants who were assisted and influenced. The three factors in the first order are friends and relatives; periodicals, newspapers and books; and Scottish ports, shipping and emigration agents. These three factors were all of critical importance by acting as positive and continuing links in the migration process, through the provision of information, encouragement and an organizational structure. i The three factors in the second order - government; emigration societies and trade unions; and landlords were in some ways less significant in the overall emigration. These factors generally tended to act as positive links in the migration process during limited time periods and in specific areas. The two factors in the third order - land companies and land speculators in Upper Canada and churches were relatively the least significant. They often related to small groups and individual personalities and tended to be of more significance when the emigrants began to settle in their new environment. The first half of the nineteenth century was a period of tremendous change and development both in Scotland and in Upper Canada. This study examines a significant yet often neglected aspect of this process of change. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is very difficult to adequately acknowledge the many people who provided varying amounts of assistance to the writer. In particular, I wish to express my appreciation for the interest, help and encouragement of Dr. James B. Caird of the Geography Department, University of Glasgow. I am also indebted to the librarians and other staff of the University of Glasgow Library, the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, the National Library of Scotland, the Scottish Record Office and the Public Record Office, London. My thanks are also due to Mrs. Elaine Yates, who typed the majority of this thesis and whose good nature has made the work much less onerous. In addition, I acknowledge, with thanks, a Fellowship from the Canada Council (1967-69) which made it possible for me to undertake the present study. Finally, mention must be made of my wife June who quite literally "kept the home fires burning" and our new friends in Glasgow and Scotland whose companionship made my family's life there both stimulating and enjoyable. 111 LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS Af ter Figure page 1.1 Emigration from British Isles, 1815-1860 11 1.2 Arrivals at Port of Quebec, 1830-1860 12 1.3 Arrivals at Port of Quebec from Scotland, 1815-1860 2.1 Petitions to the British Government requesting assisted emigration to Canada from Scotland, Jan. 1st, 1825 to May 29th, 1827.33 (Ontario): 3.1 Upper Canada approximate limits of surveyed townships for selected periods between 1788 and 1867 and selected speculators 58 3.2 Canada Company agencies in Scotland 61 3.3 Enpjoyment for Labourers, or Farmers of Small Capital. and Land for Sale in Upper Canada (Canada Company broadsheet) 64 4.1 Location of emigration societies in Central Scottish Lowlands, 1819-50 99 4.2 To the Nobility, Bankers and Merchants of Scotland (emigration society petition) 99 6.1 Location of Presbyterian Congregations in Upper Canada, c. 1840 222 7.1 Abstract of Ar yll Estate Accounts - Tiree and Mull 1846-1849(51) 344 7.2 Areas of landlord - assisted emigration to Upper and Lower Canada, 1815-1855 397 8.1 Approximate source areas of Scottish immigrants in the townships of Wellington County, Upper Canada 439 8.2 Location of surname ('Campbell" in Ontario, 1878 1+43 8.3 An indication of Scottish settlements in the Queen's Bush (Grey and Bruce Counties), 1840-1580 444 9.1 Emigration from Scottish parts to the St. Lawrence, 1831-1837 456 iv After Figure page 9.2 Emigration from Scottish parts to the St. Lawrence, 1838-1855 456 9.3 Generalized drawing areas for emigration to the St. Lawrence, 1840-1855 458 9.4 Drawing area, by Counties of the Clyde to British North America, 1832 473 9.5 Location of D.

The chapter concludes with a des- cription of the general scene in Scotland and Upper Canada during the period under examination. A number of geographers have attempted to show the significance of the study of population as one role for the geographer. Two professional articles stand out in this connection. In the spring of 1953, Glenn T. Trewartha's presidential address before the Association of American Geographers was entitled, "A Case for Population Geography. " In this address (and subsequent article') Trewartha discussed the general treatment of population in the development of geographical thought and suggested a number of reasons why this aspect of the field had been neglected. He then presented a case for the importance of population geography as a third and distinct element (as against the cultural earth and the physical earth) within the scope of discipline and then gave a systematic outline of content which was "intended to be generally applicable to the area analysis of population. "2 Trewartha's argument can perhaps best be summarized by the following quotation, "Population is the point of reference from which all the other elements are observed and from which they all, singly and collectively, derive significance and meaning. It is population which furnishes the focus. "3 The second article referred to above was written by David J. M. Hooson entitled The distribution of population as the essential geographical expression" and appeared in the Canadian Geographer in November, 1960.4 Hooson begins with a brief examination of the various traditions in geography in particular the growth of the anthropocentric focus. He then proceeds to stress the importance of the distribution of population and the factors related to this dis- tribution. In summary, "The distribution of population is the key to the whole geographical personality of a region ---- distribution is the vital concept distinguishing geography from other social sciences and from history. "5 Numerous other geographers have written both articles and books covering the field of population geography, particularly beginning in the 19601s. 6 One of the dynamic elements in population geography is migra- tion.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

In particular, I argue that both in his practices as an author and through the subject matter of his North American texts, Galt critiques and adapts Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations (1776). Galt’s critique of Smith becomes evident when we examine the relationship between his engagement with political economy in his most important North American literary texts and his overt political interests, specifically those concerning transatlantic land development and colonial expansion, a project he pursued with the Canada Company. In Chapter One, I examine John Galt’s role with the Canada Company.
