"A concise, elegant survey of a complex aspect of Canadian history, A Short History of the State in Canada examines the theory and reality of governance within Canada's distinctive political heritage: a combination of Indigenous, French, and British traditions, American statism and anti-statism, and diverse, practical experiments and experiences. E.A. Heaman takes the reader through the development of the state in both principle and practice, examining Indigenous forms of government before European contact; the interplay of French and British colonial institutions before and after the Conquest of New France; the creation of the nineteenth-century liberal state; and, finally, the rise and reconstitution of the modern social welfare state. Moving beyond the history of institutions to include the development of political cultures and social politics, A Short History of the State in Canada is a valuable introduction to the topic for political scientists, historians, and anyone interested in Canada's past and present."--

Margaret Conrad's history of Canada begins with a challenge to its readers. What is Canada? What makes up this diverse, complex and often contested nation-state? What was its founding moment? And who are its people? Drawing on her many years of experience as a scholar, writer and teacher of Canadian history, Conrad offers astute answers to these difficult questions. Beginning in Canada's deep past with the arrival of its Aboriginal peoples, she traces its history through the conquest by Europeans, the American Revolutionary War and the industrialization of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to its prosperous present. Despite its successes and its popularity as a destination for immigrants from across the world, Canada remains a curiously reluctant player on the international stage. This intelligent, concise and lucid book explains just why that is.

Excerpt from A Short History of the Canadian People IT is no easy thing to write a competent and reliable history of any country covering four centuries Of time. Jacques Cartier discovered Canada about forty years/ after Columbus stumbled upon the Continent of America. Further, if the period is long, Canadian history also presents peculiar difficulties in the varied, obscure, and sometimes uncertain sources of its development.

"Throughout his concise history, award-winning author H.V. Nelles reminds us of such fateful events, whether strategic or happenstance, that have shaped Canada as we know it today. Beginning with the earliest human occupation of North America, nearly 14,000 years ago, Nelles takes us on a whirlwind tour of the land and its inhabitants to the present day. Canada's enduring theme, he argues, is transformation. ... Fully revised throughout, this updated edition incorporates the latest research that helps us understand the course of history. Lively and opinionated, this is the ever-evolving story of a nation"--From www.amazon.ca.

Excerpt from A Short History of Canada This series of short histories is meant to supply a want which seems often to be felt for brief accounts of the rise of our colonies and dependencies, which though written on a moderate scale are yet more Vivid and detailed than is possible when colonial history is treated only incidentally in the course of that of Great Britain. The task of the present writer has been rendered comparatively easy, as regards the earlier history of Canada, by the invaluable works of Francis Parkman. For the period of British rule, I should like to ao knowledge my indebtedness especially to Sir C. P. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Short History of the Dominion of Canada, From 1500 to 1878 It is generally said that no one ever reads a "Preface." This will do for a general rule, if you allow an exception in favor of authors in respect of their own books. But I am determined, if possible, to secure a better regard for these prefatory sayings than that which the above rule permits; and this result will be sought in not referring to any of those subjects usually paraded in remarks thus located. In the first place, I have been impressed with the idea that the French nationality, as such, is destined to disappear entirely from the continent of North America. If the idea is not an error, it may be regarded as a most singular problem, that a people with such a distinctive nationality and language, who at one time extended their possessions from one to the other of the two greatest gulfs in the western world, were destined to be swallowed up in conquest, and to disappear beneath the rising Hoods of assimilation.

Excerpt from Short History of the Dominion of Canada, From 1500 to 1878 I present the portraits of the Honorable W. E. Gladstone, and the not less honorable Mary A. Livermore, si side because I consider them the two most interest ing representatives of their respective sexes now living. If Mr. Gladstone is not the greatest living scholar and statesman, a great portion of mankind are mistaken. His abilities m the aggregate have no equal in the whole range of Englishmen from the earliest times to the present day. He is one of the few men whose great popularity is not based so much upon his mastery of one particular department as upon his mastery of many depart ments. His specialty appears to be that to which he turns his attention, whether it be art, science, literature, finance, or the higher questions of moral and political philosophy. His! Statesmanship has given a higher dignity to the Liberal party than it has hitherto enjoyed, and his scholarship has added a greater solidity to English literature. Mrs. Livermore cannot, in any sense, be compared to Mr. Gladstone, except that both are moral reformers. She is not a woman of great intellectual attainments, though her general information is creditable to one of ordinary mental powers. She is remark able rather for the strength and correctness of her convictions, and for the influence which she sways by the eloquence of an earnest life, than for her natural endowments or mental acquire ments. Her life thus far is a monument of good deeds, and her sex will hereafter for many generations reap the fruits of her noble efforts.
