Io Aid of Building Churches and Purchasing Books for the Catholics of D.C ~ : :) CATAL<?,GUl!! OF CORRESPONDENCE OF TRE ARCHIVES OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF KINGSTON Rev. Brian J. Price, Archdiocesan Archivist. INTRODUCTION The h1story of the Archdiocese of Kingston is not so much a ( hlsto!'y of the development of the Cl1urch in the Province of Ontario as It 1s a chronicle of the lives, the hopes and the dreamB of significant and outstanding lndivldU$ls as well as the many groups of various nationalities who came to this province from less happy clreumstances~ This was the case with a young Scottish priest, the Rev 5 Alexander MacDonell, and his pOOl' flock who cane ou.t to this land in the first fe~ years of the Nineteenth Century. Fortunately, a lax"ge BI!lOunt of historical !!laterial frou; these early years has been preserved in the form of letters, bl11s 1 recelpts r various documents both civil end ecclesiastical flS well as a number of letter booKe, pictures, 8 few pieces of furniture arA other memorabl11a~ From t,he time of Archbishop Cleary, many attempts "rere made ! \ \, " to eet a comprehensive history of the diocese written, but none had any noted success. Aside from the time involved and the magnitude of the ~xoject, one notable drawback was the fact that the archives had never been catalogued. Nost of the material had been loosely grouped and stuffed into envelopes (approximately 5" x 11"). The entire collection was stored in a steel filing cabinet in the vav..lt -off the Archbishop's off1ce on the second floor of the Archb1shop's house~ In 1968, the author served rOi: the SU(flAe::t' 8:$ a Deacon 1n the Cathedral parish arid part of the time was to be spent in work on the archives ~ This CGJrte about- partly +01' the e,bove mer:t:'Loned X'0Bsons but also because of a request from Queen's University 'Who ..:tshed to h8.v::; aeonss to t,-;<?; u2.tcrial for reseerch e'.;.c.

Upon ordination of the <author in i'~s.y of 1969,. INTRODUCTION (con't) the appointment as archivist was ~ade offlc1al and work was began ( . on the unfolding of letters and the preliminary stages of catalogu1ng; This catalogue represents, it 1s hoped, the cOffipleted stage.

  • “For Christ and Covenant:” a Movement for Equal Consideration in Early Nineteenth Century Nova Scotia
    “For Christ and Covenant:” A Movement for Equal Consideration in Early Nineteenth Century Nova Scotia. By Holly Ritchie A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History © Copyright Holly Ritchie, 2017 November, 2017, Halifax, Nova Scotia Approved: Dr. S. Karly Kehoe Supervisor Approved: Dr. John Reid Reader Approved: Dr. Jerry Bannister Examiner Date: 30 November 2017 1 Abstract “For Christ and Covenant:” A Movement for Equal Consideration in Early Nineteenth Century Nova Scotia. Holly Ritchie Reverend Dr. Thomas McCulloch is a well-documented figure in Nova Scotia’s educational historiography. Despite this, his political activism and Presbyterian background has been largely overlooked. This thesis offers a re-interpretation of the well-known figure and the Pictou Academy’s fight for permeant pecuniary aid. Through examining Scotland’s early politico-religious history from the Reformation through the Covenanting crusades and into the first disruption of the Church of Scotland, this thesis demonstrates that the language of political disaffection was frequently expressed through the language of religion. As a result, this framework of response was exported with the Scottish diaspora to Nova Scotia, and used by McCulloch to stimulate a movement for equal consideration within the colony. Date: 30 November 2017 2 Acknowledgements Firstly, to the wonderful Dr. S. Karly Kehoe, thank you for providing me with an opportunity beyond my expectations. A few lines of acknowledgement does not do justice to the impact you’ve had on my academic work, and my self-confidence.

  • Inscriptions and Graves Niagara Peninsula
    "Ducit Amor Patriae" INSCRIPTIONS AND GRAVES IN THE NIAGARA PENINSULA JANET CARNOCHAN NIAGARA HISTORICAL SOCIETY RE-PRINT OF NUMBER 19 WITH ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS PRICE 60 CENTS THE NIAGARA ADVANCE PRINT, NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE FOREWARD In response to many requests for this popular publications, which was the outcome of many toilsome journeys, and much research on the part of the late Miss Janet Carnochan, the Society at length presents it with corrections and additions in the hope that it will be more valued than ever. Note: No. 19 is a Reprint of No. 10 with Additions and Corrections. PREFACE In studying the history of Niagara and vicinity the graveyards have been found a fruitful source of information, and over fifty of these have been personally visited. The original plan was to copy records of early settlers, United Empire Loyalists, Military or Naval Heroes, or those who have helped forward the progress of the country as Clergy, Teachers, Legislators, Agriculturists, etc., besides this, any odd or quaint inscriptions. No doubt many interesting and important inscriptions have been omitted, but the limits of our usual publication have already been far exceeded and these remain for another hand to gather. To follow the original lettering was desired, but the additional cost would have been beyond our modest means. Hearty thanks are here returned for help given by Col. Cruikshank, Rev. Canon Bull, Dr. McCollum, Mr. George Shaw, Rev. A. Sherk, Miss Forbes, Miss Shaw and Miss Brown, who all sent inscriptions from their own vicinity. It is hoped that the index of nearly six hundred names will be found of use and that our tenth publication will receive as kind a welcome as have the other pamphlets sent out by our Society.

  • A Medieval New World: Nation-Making in Early Canadian Literature, 1789-1870
    A Medieval New World: Nation-Making in Early Canadian Literature, 1789-1870 by Elana Laurel Aislinn Ryan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Elana Laurel Aislinn Ryan 2015 A Medieval New World: Nation-Making in Early Canadian Literature, 1789-1870 Elana Laurel Aislinn Ryan Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This thesis examines how medievalist narratives of nationhood developed in the early days of English Canadian literature, from 1789-1870. Early Canadian authors imagined a past for Canada tied not to the land but to cultural memory; they created a medieval history for Canada by adapting European medieval myth and legend. Adaptation was a powerful tool in the hands of authors struggling to negotiate North America’s multiple colonial relationships: it allowed them to embrace European cultural histories, to stake a claim to those Old World cultural inheritances, while simultaneously appropriating those histories into new narratives for the New World. This project, as the first large-scale study of medievalism in Canada, involved finding and cataloguing instances of medievalism in Canadian literature. The trends explored in this thesis are based on 443 works of Canadian medievalism published between 1789 and 1870. Chapter One analyzes Canada’s first literary magazines in the late eighteenth century. Responding to revolutions on both sides of the Atlantic, these magazines advocated a revolution not of arms but of manners, with medieval chivalric codes as the exemplar. ii Chapter Two turns to the literary aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812.
