Quebec: Samuel Nielson 1791. Four issues. 2; 2; 4; 4pp. Printed in double-column format in parallel English and French. Folio. Slightly ragged on left margin. Very good. This extraordinary series of supplements to the QUEBEC GAZETTE demonstrates the extent to which feeling for the French Revolution had permeated the French population of Canada and the degree to which the British government was prepared to tolerate the expression of such Revolutionary sentiments. Most of the text of each issue all of the first two and part of the third and fourth is devoted to a long "Scheme of a Constitution" extracted from a late French publication entitled "Les Actes des Apotres." While recognizing monarchy as the necessary executive branch the text calls for a balance of power between the courts legislatures and executive. A surprising and interesting series to find published in Canada at this time in the same year that the Constitutional Act granted the first representative government to Canada. Not listed separately by Tremaine nor are supplements recorded in the appendix devoted to the .GAZETTE; however she notes two runs which include "almost all" of the supplements.

Montreal: Printed by John C. Becket 1842. Broadside 22 1/2 x 17 3/4 inches. Printed in six columns. Small tears and creasing at all margins affecting a few words of text; significant loss at upper corners not affecting text. Good. A Canadian broadside advertising lands available in the Eastern Townships printed at the beginning of the region's transformation into a French-speaking area. In the early 1800s the Eastern Townships were an almost exclusively Anglophone region of Quebec. The American Revolution precipitated the flight of over 40000 Loyalists to Canada in the 1780s including a small handful to the largely unsettled region of Quebec between the St. Lawrence River and the U.S. border known as the Eastern Townships. The Loyalists cleared much of the rich land for farming which attracted a large number of immigrants from New England in the first decades of the 19th century. In the 1840s a rapid shift occurred in the region as French- speaking Quebecois from poorer areas began pouring in and the English speakers began emigrating to the U.S. and other parts of Canada. Francophones became a majority in the 1870s and today constitute over 85% of the population. <br> <br> The present broadside printed in English lists hundreds of lots for sale by the British American Land Company and includes over a column's worth of detailed descriptions of lands open for purchase. The following towns and areas are represented: Ascot Auckland Brompton Compton Clifton Clinton Ditton Dudswell Eaton Hereford Melbourne Newport Orford Shipton Stoke Weedon Westbury and Windsor in the County of Sherbrooke; Barford Barnston Bolton Hatley Potton and Stanstead in the County of Stanstead; Brome Ely Farnham Granby Milton Roxton Shefford and Stukeley in the County of Shefford; Acton Aston Chester Durhan Grantham Ham Kingsley Simpson Tingwock Warwick Wendover and Wickham in the County of Drummond; Sutton in the County of Missisquoi; Hemmingford in the County of Beauharnois; and improved farms in the district of St. Francis Territory Port St. Francis and the town of Sherbrooke.

Original red ribbon tied green printed green wrapper.<br/> <br/>Likely privately printed account of an August 1903 camping and fishing trip into Canada's Muskoka region by fourteen people from the Indian Territory Arkansas Mississippi Kentucky Tennessee Washington DC and Northampton and Boston Massachusetts.<br/> <br/>Hosted by Major Breckenridge this trip was a follow-up to a 1902 trip ruined by bad weather and other problems and cut short. This 1903 trip was better organized and with a larger party. The group assembled at a cottage on Lake Rousseau north of Toronto and took canoes to camps on Lakes Blackstone and Crane near Parry Sound. The first four chapters relay descriptions of their travels camping gear fishing tackle boats the scenery local farms and preparations for various activities among many other details. The final chapter of the book "August 1903" was written by Mary Breckenridge and provides a detailed account of the fishing: "We now had a plentiful supply of fish. Luck was good for nearly everyone.to the major rested the honor of the largest fish a wall-eyed pike with a really ferocious countenance." The photographs closely track the narrative with the images reflecting the text opposite and show docks and buildings along the traveled routes scenes of the Canadian backwoods camps and members of the party engaged in various activities including swimming boating fishing cooking etc. Major Breckeridge wished to "provide a trip which would make his girls permanent lovers of fishing and camping and willing companions of his future expeditions for.none are too tender to cultivate the angler's art." He bought a small number of maple leaf pins which he distributed to the party and which became the badge of the Maple Leaf Club. Privately printed unknown books
