It contains a steel engraving of Mr. Merritt, as well as his autograph. « I It may be considered a complete text book to British American history — social as well as POLITICAL. It commences at a period of over One Hundred Tears Ago, describing the early settlement af the country by the'AwERiCAN Loyalists, giving a narrative of the War of 18 1 2, by the subject of this memoir, who was an actor in it. It describes the Inception, Progress and Completion of the Welland &i St. Lawrence Canals, Railways, and other Important Public Works. It affords in full, Private as well as Public Correspondence connected with the Rebellion of 1837-8, as well as matters NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED on that subject. The work treats copiously of the COMMERCIAL POLICY OF FREE TRADE, and the political relations, resulting therefrom, showing the important events connected with the Repeal of the Corn Lam, and Reciprocity Treaty with the United States, rOESHADOWING THE INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT OF THE PfiESENT DAY. The work is compiled from Original Documents, and as a handbook to British American history, and one of reference by the present and rising generation of the Dominion of Canada is not only useful but indispensible. A few remaining copies can be had at Mr. Merritt's Office, Ontario Street, for half of the original Price, $2.00. \
