Biographical sketch: Herman Witsius Ryland was born in 1759 or 1760 in England; he was the son of John Collett Ryland, a Baptist minister and teacher, and Elizabeth Frith. He joined the British army and spent 1781 and 1782 in the American colonies. Nothing is known of his activities for about a dozen years after his return to England. In 1793, Sir Guy Carleton (Lord Dorchester) became Governor of Lower Canada and selected Ryland as his civil secretary; the two set out for Quebec together. This was the beginning of a long career for H.W. Ryland as a public servant in Lower Canada. He served as civil secretary to Carleton (1793 to 1796), and to his successors including Robert Prescott (1796-1798), Lieutenant Governor Robert Milnes (1799-1807), James Craig (1807-1811) and George Prevost (1811-1813). Ryland held the position of Clerk of the Executive Council from 1796 to 1798, and from 1799 to his death. He was also Clerk of the Crown in Chancery from 1802 to 1833, and treasurer and secretary of the Jesuit’s Estate Commission from 1811 to 1826. Ryland was also a political figure, sitting as a member of the Legislative Assembly from 1812 until his death in 1838. As civil secretary for various governors, Ryland was responsible for issuing letters patent and commissions and for the official correspondence of his superior. As part of his duties as Clerk of the Executive Council, Ryland was required to register orders in council and prepare the public accounts. He knew many important men both in the Canadian colony and in England, which makes his correspondence very interesting. In Quebec in 1794, H.W. Ryland married Charlotte Warwick, his English fiancée for several years. The family lived in Quebec initially and then moved to a farm in Beauport, acquired in 1805 and expanded in 1813. In November 1830, Ryland also received a land grant of 2,205 acres in the townships of Chester and Tingwick. The couple had nine children, five of whom died young. H.W. Ryland died on July 20, 1838 in Beauport; his wife Charlotte appears to have survived him by several years and returned to England. The only one of H.W. Ryland's sons to follow in his footsteps in Canada was George Herman (1801-1883), who helped his father with his duties as secretary of the Jesuit’s Estate Commission from 1817 to 1822 and was Assistant Clerk to the Executive Council from 1818 to 1838. He succeeded his father as Clerk of the Executive Council in 1838. After the union of the two provinces, he was appointed registrar of the City of Quebec (1840-1845) and of Montreal (1845 to 1882). H.W. Ryland's other son, William Deane, became a minister in England. ii Scope and content: The documents in this fonds have been acquired in several stages and from a variety of sources. They document the political influence, the involvment in government and the private life of Herman Witsius Ryland, his wife and his children in Lower Canada, as well as the ties that the family had with England. Several of the series contain personal correspondence sent or received by H.W. Ryland or by other members of his family, especially his wife and his two sons, George and William, as well as copies of letters, reports and memorials prepared by H.W. Ryland and related directly or indirectly to his official functions in the colony. These documents cover mainly the period from 1790 to 1840. One series contains copies of documents relating to the American colonies from 1685 to 1718, collected for the Board of Trade of England. Series: * Ryland Papers; 1798-1837, 0.08 m (volumes 1-2). Two bound volumes compiled by H.W. Ryland (around 1837) and in his own handwriting; they contain copies of letters and memoranda relating mainly to political affairs in Lower Canada.

Seven bounded volumes containing copies of documents (letters, reports and memoranda) related to North American colonies; assembled for use by the Board of Trade. They were presented to H.W. Ryland by Sir George Pownall in 1829 as mentioned in a letter included at the beginning of volume 6. * Correspondence of George H. Ryland and miscellaneous; 1824-1877, 0.03 m (volume 13). Letters to and from George Herman Ryland and miscellaneous material relating mainly to his employment in the public service, arranged chronologically in two parts: correspondence and miscellaneous. * Correspondence of members of the Ryland family; 1791-1859, 0.45 m (volumes 14-16). Letters to and from Herman Witsius Ryland, his wife Charlotte, their sons George and William and other members of the Ryland family, related to personal or public matters. Originals and contemporary copies made by H.W. Ryland, arranged chronologically. * Miscellaneous documents; 1798-1906, 0.11 m (volumes 17-18). Miscellaneous documents related to the affairs of H.W. Ryland or his sons. Originals and contemporary copies made by H.W. Ryland, arranged chronologically. iii Finding Aid: The first part of Finding Aid #256 covers volumes 1 to 13; it includes a summary list of the volumes, indicating the number of pages in each one, as well as a descriptive list of the documents in volumes 1 to 5 and 13, in alphabetical order by name of correspondent and in chronological order. The list shows whether the documents are originals or transcriptions. The second part of the finding aid was added in 1999 to cover a collection of original documents acquired at auction; there is a detailed chronological list of the correspondence with the dates of letters and names of the correspondents, an alphabetical list of all correspondents, an index of correspondents with ties to the various members of the Ryland family (volumes 14 to 16), as well as a chronological list of the various documents in volumes 17 and 18. iv [this part produced by typewriter, electronic version not available] Finding Aid 256 Herman Witsius Ryland and family Fonds MG 24 B 3 -Chronological List- Correspondence volumes 14-16 Date Author Recipient Remarks Vol. 1791, 12 December W.

Over several decades, a large stock market, high taxes on inherited income, a sound institutional environment, and capital account openness accompa- nied the rise of widely held firms. At mid-century, the Canadian large cor- porate sector was primarily freestanding widely held firms, as in the mod- ern large corporate sectors of the United States and United Kingdom. Then, in the last third of the century, a series of institutional changes took place. These included a more bank-based financial system, a sharp abate- Randall K. Morck is Stephen A.

  • Chapter 1: Introduction Protecting a Unique Resource
    Chapter 1: Introduction Protecting a Unique Resource The Battle of Brandywine was one of the earliest and largest combat actions of the Revolutionary War. Despite ongoing development pressures, the Brandywine Battlefield still retains many significant features it had in 1777, such as historic buildings and open spaces that were crossed by troops. Unlike the battles in Boston or New York City, Brandywine was fought in a rural setting of farms and small villages, some of which still exist. There is also a rare cultural continuity in the Battlefield. The very same Quaker meetinghouses that served as hospitals after the Battle are still used for worship. The ancestors of those Quakers still live in the area. Simply put, the Brandywine Battlefield possesses a special authenticity that can serve as the foundation for the protection of open space, and is also essential in promoting historic- based tourism. The Brandywine Battlefield is truly one-of-a-kind cultural landscape. Tourism is a key component of the Brandywine Valley economy. Recent studies demonstrate that heritage-based tourism tends to produces higher spending per visitor than other forms of tourism.1 According to a national study, tourists visiting historic sites stay longer and spend more money. A 2009 study found that 78 percent of all U.S. leisure travelers participated in cultural or heritage activities while traveling, contributing more than $192 billion annually to the U.S. economy.2 On an annual basis, heritage tourism in Pennsylvania generates about $2.9 billion in terms of economic and fiscal impact, supporting 37,000 jobs and generating $90 million in state tax revenue.3 Preserving the Brandywine Battlefield can therefore be a tool to grow the economy based on a resource that is unique to Chester and Delaware Counties.

  • Useful Fortune: Contingency and the Limits of Identity in the Canadas 1790-1850
    USEFUL FORTUNE: CONTINGENCY AND THE LIMITS OF IDENTITY IN THE CANADAS 1790-1850 by LOUISE ROBERT B.A., College Marguerite Bourgeoys, 1967 Licence es Lettres, Universite de Montreal, 1970 M.A., University of British Columbia, 1988 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Department of History THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 1996 © Louise Robert, 1996 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT In this study I analyze how Lower and Upper Canadians in the period 1790-1850 articulated ideas of the self in relation to concepts provided by the Enlightenment and more particularly by the notion of self- love. Canadians discussed the importance of individual self-interest in defining the self and in formulating the ties that would unite a multitude of strangers who were expected to live in peace with one another regardless of their religious, cultural and social affiliations. Scholarly discussion about the making of identities in the Canadas has, for the most part, focussed on community-defined identities even though it has always largely been accepted that the Canadas were 'liberal' and individualistic societies.
