Editorial Reviews

Reprints in a single volume a series of legal portraits of Upper Canadian figures previously published in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, a monument to historical scholarship in 20th-century Canada which to date has published 12 volumes dealing with Canadian lives from the years 1000 AD to 1900. Making the work of the DCB accessible to a wider audience in a coherent and attractive manner, the present volume includes 70 biographies of Upper Canadian officialdom (both the judiciary and Crown officers), members of the bar, critics of the judicial system, and those who stood before it. Paper edition (unseen), $35. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
