Book Description
In his famous 1839 call to reform, John George Lambton, Earl of Durham, recommended that Upper and Lower Canada be accorded responsible government by uniting the two provinces under a single legislative assembly - a union which would also bring about the assimilation of the French-Canadians. The Report has been criticized ever since - from British imperialists who found it dangerously liberal to French Canadians who despised Durham for his presumed racism. This new edition of Gerald Craig's abridgement retains his 1963 introduction and adds essays that debate Durham's political assumptions and goals, re-examine the philosophical and historical context in which the Report was created, and review the Report's reception and influence. Janet Ajzenstat reconsiders the report in the context of nineteenth-century debates about the relation between culture and political institutions, arguing that Durham should be seen as a progressive universalist opposed to the divisions of race and creed who wanted to give more freedom to French- and English-Canadians alike. Guy Laforest re-examines the report in terms of British liberal imperialism and twentieth-century English-Canadian perspectives to argue that Durham was a one-sided sociologist and the first in long line who used liberalism for imperialist purposes.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lord Durham: A Biography of John George Lambton, First Earl of Durham Democratic government in Great Britain, confidence in the permanence of the British Empire, anglo-american friendship, the self-governing nationhood of Canada and her sister peoples, are such significant and well-accepted factors in our modern life that it is with a feeling of strangeness that We go back to a world in which they did not exist. Yet they have come into being in less than a hundred years. The most powerful champion of all of them in the early years of their development advocated them with considerable success but at the cost of political adversity, and died at the age of forty eight with his eyes fixed confidently on that future which is our present. It is his life-story that is told in these pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
