Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book includes a series of private letters from a Cambridge don who, in a twist of fate, became the attorney general of Quebec from 1766 to 1769. The letters were written to an influential London merchant closely tied to the British merchants in Quebec. These previously unpublished letters offer a fresh glimpse of Canada during those critical years when the newly conquered province grappled with the imposition of English laws, the abolition of French laws, and the thorny question of religious jurisdiction. The author's prejudice against Roman Catholicism colors his observations, providing insights into the challenges of imposing an alien legal and social system on a conquered people. Ultimately, this book sheds new light on the complex dynamics of British rule in early Canada, offering valuable source material for scholars and history enthusiasts alike.
