V/ILSON, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University September, 1991 MASTER OF ARTS (1991) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: THE COURT OF GENERAL QUARTER SESSIONS OF THE PEACE: LOCAL ADMINISTRATION IN PRE-MUNICIPAL UPPER CANADA AUTHOR: James K. Wilson, B.A. (University of Western Ontario) SUPERVISOR: Professor John c.. Weaver NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 120 ii ABSTRACT Between 1800 and 1832 virtually all aspects of local administration in Upper Canada were overseen by those men appointed to the office of Justice of the Peace. During this era the Justices of the Peace sitting in the Court of General Quarter Sessions of the Peace accumulated. the vast majoI1ty of administrative and judicial powers granted by the Colonial Government to oversee local settlement. In the District of Johnstown, prior to its spectacular growth between 1:816 and 1820, the monopoly of power which the Magistrates were granted allowed them to effectively administer to the administrative and judicial needs of the settlers in the District. However, as the population of the colony grew and administration became more time-consuming and complex, an unwieldy number administrative tasks were placed upon the shoulders of the Justices of the Peace.

  • The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century

    The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century

    “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century by Kevin Woodger A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Kevin Woodger 2020 “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century Kevin Woodger Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto Abstract This dissertation examines the Canadian Cadet Movement and Boy Scouts Association of Canada, seeking to put Canada’s two largest uniformed youth movements for boys into sustained conversation. It does this in order to analyse the ways in which both movements sought to form masculine national and imperial subjects from their adolescent members. Between the end of the First World War and the late 1960s, the Cadets and Scouts shared a number of ideals that formed the basis of their similar, yet distinct, youth training programs. These ideals included loyalty and service, including military service, to the nation and Empire. The men that scouts and cadets were to grow up to become, as far as their adult leaders envisioned, would be disciplined and law-abiding citizens and workers, who would willingly and happily accept their place in Canadian society. However, these adult-led movements were not always successful in their shared mission of turning boys into their ideal-type of men. The active participation and complicity of their teenaged members, as peer leaders, disciplinary subjects, and as recipients of youth training, was central to their success.

    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook

    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.

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.

    LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN SIX UPPER CANADIAN TOWNS, 1832-1860 BY AND FOR THE LARGE PROPERTIED INTERESTS: THE DYNAMICS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN SIX UPPER CANADIAN TOWNS DURING THE ERA OF COMMERCIAL CAPITALISM, 1832-1860 By WILLIAM THOMAS MATTHEWS, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University February, 1985 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1985} McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Hi story} Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: By and For the Large Propertied Interests: The Dynamics of Local Government in Six Upper Canadian Towns During the Era of Commercial Capitalism, 1832-1860 AUTHOR: William Thomas Matthews, B.A. (University of Western Ontario) M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Doctor John C. Weaver NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 407 i i HiES IS ABSTRACT THESIS ABSTRACT: 11 By and For the Large Propertied Interests: The Dynamics of Local Government in Six Upper Canadian Towns During the Era of Commercial Capitalism, 1832-1860." This dissertation analyzes the dynamics of local government in six communities Brockville, Hamilton, Kingston, Ottawa, St. Catharines and Toronto. Traditional politico-constitutional histories were obsessed with tracing the steady growth of participatory democracy at the local level. In contrast, this study adopts a more critical perspective, documenting the manner in which local elites utilized municipal government to shape the development of the province's urban communities. Among the relevant issues examined are the incorporation of towns and cities, the regulation of the public market, the expansion of municipal services, the subsidization of i nterna1 improvement projects, and the struggle to preserve public order and morality.

    Content Description Archives of Ontario. Collection: 1780-1900 MIC-Loyalist FC LSC .O5A7C6 1. Charles Bacon Collection, 1785-1889. This Collection, assembled by Charles Bacon of Cornwall, contains correspondence, commissions, depositions, abstracts and account books relating to eastern Ontario families and, in particular, those of Glengarry County. Included are the legal papers of Archibald McLean, Clerk of the Peace for the Eastern District, and of James Pringle, his agent. Among these papers is an important letter from Archibald McLean to James Pringle, in which McLean comments extensively on the political situation in March 1836, focusing on the actions of the reformers. The personal correspondence of Richard Rider, a blacksmith at the Kingston naval dock yard, includes correspondence from Rider’s father in England in which he reports on the economic situation in Britain in the post-Napoleonic War period, and on the Peterloo Massacre of 1819. Finally, the miscellaneous papers relate to the activities of Williamstown families, and include a letter from D. McLennan in which he discusses such diverse topics as the Fenian preparations in New York, the post civil war ennui in the United States, and his efforts to secure publicity for the Glengarry Highland Games. 2. Solomon Cole Collection, 1787-1829, 1936. The Collection consists of the accounting day book of Solomon Cole, Sr., 1787-1827, who was a general carpenter and furniture maker. The volume indicates his residence as Londonderry, Vermont. The Cole family appear to have moved to the lower Ottawa River area of Québec, possibly near Point Fortune. Also included is a news clipping mentioning the restoration of Bellevue House at Carillon, Québec, 1936.

    CCHA Report, 6(1938-39), 51-66 Francis Collins First Catholic Journalist in Upper Canada BY THE REV. BROTHER ALFRED, F.S.C., LL.D. Francis Collins, the first Catholic Journalist in, Upper Canada,1 friend of liberty and free institutions, advocate of responsible government, founder, proprietor and editor of the “Canadian Freeman,” was born at Newry,2 County Down, Ireland, in 1801. He was endowed by nature with a keen mind and he enjoyed the benefits of a fair education in the Irish schools of the day. On the close of the Napoleonic wars, British sailing vessels were released for trans-Atlantic service, with the result that an ever-rising tide of Irish emigration set in. Following its current, which had already carried many of his oppressed countrymen to larger opportunities and brighter prospects in the new world, Francis Collins sailed for America in 1818. Destiny led him to Upper Canada to the town of York,3 whose foundations had been laid by Lt. Gov. John Graves Simcoe a quarter of a century before, in the year 1796. Already men of Irish blood were making their presence felt on the banks of the Don. After the failure in Ireland of the rebellion of 1798 and the dispersion of the “ United Irishmen,” many members of that organization and their sympathizers fled to America. Not a few found their way to Upper Canada, where, in York, they immediately set up an active agitation for the reform of the government of the province of Upper Canada. They were the real founders of the Reform Party.
