Petition From Lower Canada : With Explanatory Remarks (1835) (Paperback)

""Petition From Lower Canada: With Explanatory Remarks"" is a historical document written by William Clowes in 1835. The book contains a petition from the inhabitants of Lower Canada (now Quebec) to the British government, requesting a change in the political system. The petition was a response to the government's attempts to impose English laws and customs on the French-speaking population of Lower Canada, which had caused significant unrest and protests. Clowes provides explanatory remarks to contextualize the petition and explain the historical and political background of the situation. The book is an important primary source for understanding the tensions between French and English-speaking Canadians in the early 19th century and sheds light on the struggle for political autonomy and cultural identity in Canada's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
