1793réf. 32892Quebec. 1793-1817. Extensive Run of Early Canadian Legislative Journals A large and impressive archive of Canadian laws. In an effort to pacify the disparate French and British populations of Canada the Constitutional Act of 1791 divided Canada in two. Upper Canada was primarily populated by Loyalist emigrants of the American Revolution while the citizenry of Lower Canada which included Quebec was mostly of French descent. These are the laws of Lower Canada printed in English and French. Though the first volume appeared in 1793 it includes material from the first session of the first Parliament held in December 1792. The series continued till 1836. "Public accounts are included in the early numbers of the Journals and from 1809 to 1835-36 Sessional papers are published as appendices to the Journals" - TPL. Present here is a complete run from its inception to 1813 with an additional volume for 1817. The twenty-third twenty-fourth and twenty fifth volumes are lacking. Scarce. OCLC locates only six complete runs. A prime resource for the study of Canadian legal history. Later brown cloth red and black gilt morocco labels. Printed in alternating English and French. Slight wear to and moderate soiling on covers. Occasional foxing. First view leaves of first volume torn along lower blank margin. Occasional old institutional markings. Overall very good. TPL 640.

1838réf. 32893Montreal. 1838-1840. Rare Laws from the Patriot Uprising An important collection of Canadian laws as passed by the Special Council of Lower Canada from 1838 to 1840. When the Patriot Uprising of 1838 caused Canadian officials to suspend the 1791 constitution which had divided Canada into the Upper and Lower Provinces each with their own legislature and establish martial law the provincial judiciary assumed administrative control in the form of the Special Council. The Special Council continued in an administrative capacity until the Union Act of 1840 which reunited the provinces with a single legislature. A fundamental cause of the Patriot Uprising was the ambiguous extent of judiciary power; based on the reign of the Special Council recorded in detail here judicial powers were more clearly defined via the Union Act. TPL calls for six volumes bound in three. The present set features each volume bound separately lacking the sixth volume. The large portions of unnumbered pages at the end of each contain sessional papers appendices and indices. Key insight into a tumultuous period of Canadian legal history. The journals were also issued in French. OCLC locates these journals at fewer than ten institutions not all of which appear to hold complete runs. Quarto. Later cloth red and black gilt morocco labels. Moderate soiling on covers library labels at toe of spines. Uniform light toning. Perforated library stamps on titlepages occasional additional library markings. First twenty pages of last volume in typescript facsimile. Overall very good. Lacks the sixth volume. TPL 2173.

1885réf. 54034Toronto: Toronto Lithographing Co. ca.1885. Large Chromolithographs of the Riel Rebellion A trio of rare battlefield views depicting three of the major skirmishes fought during the North-West Rebellion in Saskatchewan in 1885. This series of battles is also known by several other names including the Saskatchewan Rebellion the Northwest Uprising and the Second Riel Rebellion the first Riel Rebellion occurred near Manitoba in 1869 and is also known as the Red River Rebellion. Both the 1869 and 1885 actions were led by Louis Riel the leader of the Métis people. Chronologically the lithographs are as follows: 1 "Battle of Fish Creek." This battle occurred on April 24 1885 and resulted in a stunning victory when around 200 Métis soldiers overcame a superior force of 900 government soldiers and temporarily halted an advance on Batoche. 2 "Battle of Cut Knife." On May 2 1885 a force of Cree warriors held off a superior group of Canadian army units. 3 "The Capture of Batoche." Effectively the end of the rebellion the Métis were soundly defeated in the second week of May after they ran out of ammunition on the third day of fighting. This action forced Riel to surrender on May 15. The Métis are one of the recognized aboriginal groups in Canada who trace their roots to the first interaction between First Nations people and the earliest European settlers usually French and largely as a result of the fur trade. The Métis are among the earliest mixed-race people in Canada and developed a separate distinct culture based on their ancestral origins usually stemming from the coupling of an indigenous woman and a male European settler. By the 19th century the Métis were well-assimilated into French-Canadian culture and many worked as fur traders for the North-West Company or Hudson's Bay Company or supplied furs as independent trappers. When those companies pulled out of the Red River and Saskatchewan regions in the mid-to-late 1800s the Canadian government took over the land and began to enforce their will on the Métis people. The first armed conflict between the Métis and the Canadian provincial government occurred in 1869 in the Red River region where Louis Riel led an unsuccessful rebellion. Some fifteen years later the Métis formed their own provincial government in western Saskatchewan after hearing that the Canadian government was sending mounted police to enforce Canadian law in the region. This Second Riel Rebellion occurred in a series of skirmishes between the Métis and the Canadian armed forces between March 26 and May 12 1885. Though led by Louis Riel the Métis ultimately lost again to the Canadian government. Still both rebellions helped the Métis gain some measure of recognition and respect from the Canadian government that they would very likely not have earned otherwise. The lithographs were produced by the Toronto Lithographing Company purveyors of patriotic views of famous Canadian wars. In this case the company assigned W.D. Blatchly to paint the scenes for the 1885 conflicts; Blatchly was at the time one of the leading artists in all of Canada. An excellent series of lithographs illustrating three important events in the famous rebellion with outstanding display appeal. Cut Knife and Fish Creek trimmed about ¾ inch along the top margin and about 1¼ inches along left margin. Capture at Batoche trimmed slightly more but evenly in each margin and adhered to backing board. Overall good plus. unknown
