8vo. pp. 6 p.l., 76(index), 2(errata), li, [1], 372, vi, 26, A-I, K-Y. with half-title. A very good copy in original cloth-backed bds. (paper spine label chipped). Signed Presentation copy dated 1835 to Dr. Alexander Wylie, Matilda, from his friend Archibald McLean, M.P.P. [1791-1865]. First Edition of this famous report, an eloquent and forceful indictment of the Family Compact Government, largely written by Scottish-Canadian journalist and politician William Lyon Mackenzie, who chaired the committee. The grievances of the Reformers are listed in detail: concern regarding the excessive power of the executive branch in Upper Canada and the campaigning of government officials for Tory politicians during elections, criticism of companies like the Welland Canal Company that mismanaged funds given to them by the government and the salaries of officials who received patronage appointments. Demands are made for an elective legislative council and responsible government. A landmark document in the political history of Upper Canada. Mackenzie represented York County in the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada and was elected the first mayor of Toronto in 1834. He led the rebels in the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1837, and after its defeat, he unsuccessfully rallied American support for an invasion of Upper Canada as part of the Patriot War against British imperialism. Interestingly this is a signed presentation copy given the year of publication by lawyer, politician, and later judge, Archibald McLean, who was a rising member of the Family Compact. As a colonel of the militia during the 1837 rebellion, he was involved in routing the rebels in Toronto, commanding the left flank of the loyalist forces under ColonelJames Fitzgibbon in the attack on Montgomery's Tavern.

Folio, printed on blue paper, 24 pp.; with a large two-sheet folding map; neatly bound in later cloth, a fine copy. Rare official printing of John Macdouall Stuart's journal of his fourth expedition through central Australia, noteworthy for the discovery of the Finke River, Macdonnell Ranges and the geographical centre of the Australian continent. The expedition followed the disbanding of Stuart's party, which had assembled for prospecting in the Davenport Range. After failing to find gold the men rebelled and were paid off at Chambers Creek. Shortly afterwards, on 2 March 1860, Stuart set off into the vast wilderness with two companions, William Kekwick and Benjamin Head. They lost important provisions to flooding and suffered terribly from scurvy and malnutrition; indeed Stuart lost the use of his right eye. They discovered the Finke River and Macdonnell Ranges before ascertaining the exact centre of the continent on 22 April 1860. Stuart writes "To-day I find, from my observation of the sun. that I am now camped in the centre of Australia. About two and a half miles to the N.N.E. is a high mount. I wish it had been in the centre. I shall go to it to-morrow and build a cone of stones, plant the British flag, and name it Central Mount Stuart. We have been in search of permanent water all day, but cannot find any.". For the following month they searched fruitlessly for water, frustrating plans for further travels to the north-west. Rains in May allowed a dash to Tennants Creek and two months later the group, now emaciated with hunger and fatigue, returned to Chambers Creek. Stuart, Kekwick and Head received a heroes' welcome in Adelaide, their discovery of the exact centre of Australia prompting the South Australia government of to fund Stuart's next expedition to cross the continent in direct competition with Burke and Wills.

(cgc) Tremaine 1094. TPL640. Gagnon I: 1830. The Journals were published in very small editions of 100 copies, for use of the Members of the House of Assembly. Printed from 1793 to 1836, the first Journal was issued after the first session of the Lower Canada House of Assembly in December of 1792. The Constitutional Act of 1791, divided Canada into two parts, Upper and Lower. Lower Canada being pre-dominately French speaking, necessitated any official documentation being in both English and French. The House of Assembly had the authority to levy taxes in the Colony and to pay the administration. An Abstract in this issue lists the Civil Administration payments and pensions to the civil ministration for 1797.

"Its major recommendations were that a tax should be imposed on unimproved lands held by speculators; that the laws, customs, and religion of the French Canadians should be respectedthat the crown revenues should be surrendered to the colonial Houses of Assembly in exchange for a Civil List; that steps should be taken to sell the Clergy Reserves and to divide the proceeds fairly among all Protestant denominations; and that the revenue from the Jesuits' Estates should be used for education."
