PROSPECTUS 
 
 or THE 
 
 Legislation and History of Separate Schools 
 
 IN UPPER CANADA 
 
 FROM 184I, UNTIL THE CLOSE OF THE REVEREND DOCTOR RYERSON's ADMINISTRATION OK THE 
 
 EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IN 1 876. 
 
 Prepared. \x/ith Notes, by J. GEORGE HODGINS, M.A,, LL.D., 
 
 IHKKlSTBa-ATL»W, ANU KUHlIK OK I'ME " UllCt MBN 1 AKV HISTOKV OF EDVCATION IN tPPRK CANADA, Ijgi-lS/ft." 
 
 Dr. Hodgins, — who was Chief of the Staff in the Education Department 
 from the time of the Rev. Dr. Ryerson's appointnient, as head of the Department, 
 in 1844, until his retirement in 1876, and until the end of 1890, — proposes to issue a 
 woik on the Legislation and History of Separate Schools in Upper Canada, from 
 their inception in 1841, to the p:issage of the "Finality Act" of 1860-1863. On this 
 latter measure was based the provisions of the British North America Act relating to 
 Separate Schools. In this connection will be given the text of the legal Opinion of 
 three noted Queen's Counsel on these provisions, which was published in Man h, 1867. 
 
 The work will extend to between 200 and 250 pages of printed matter. It will 
 contain a sketch, or narrative, of the principal proceedings, incidents, and more important 
 correspondence and conferences which took place on the subject of Separate Schools 
 from 1841 to 1863, and such later proceedings, in regard to these Schools, down to 
 1876, as may be of interest. The text, or a summary thereof, of the various Separate 
 School Bills, amendments, etc., prepared by promoters of Separate Schools, Members 
 of the Legislature, or others, during those years, will be given ; also the principal 
 division lists, with names of the Members voting, etc. 
 
 "TiiK Lkoislation and Histokv ok Skpak.atk Schools in Upper Canada," in 
 addition to what may be called the official side of the question, will contain very much 
 of special interest to public men. 
 
 In this Work will be given the particulars of the immediate causes which led to 
 the introduction of the principle of Separate Schools into the Legislation of 1841 — 
 The early opinions of Representatives ot the Roman Ccitholic Church and others upon 
 the School System of Upper Canada — Tributes to Bishops Power and Charbonel — 
 Extracts from Correspondence on the subject — Bishop Macdonnell's friendly relations 
 
,\ 
 
with the Home Government— Grant to him for Churches and Schools— The Rev. 
 Father Stafford on Bishop Macdonnell's educational efforts, and other matters; also. 
 
 Opinions on the Separate School Question by public men :— Sir John Macdonald, 
 Rev. Dr. Ryerson, and Senator Penny (giving a Lower Canada view of the Question), 
 William Lyon Mackenzie, J. Sandfield Macdonald, John Elmsley, George Brown, 
 John G. Bowes, J. VV. Gamble, and several other pubhc men ; and 
 
 Dr. Ryerson's Confidential Report to the Governor-General on Separate Schools 
 in 1858 -Personal and Parliamentary Incidents of the stru.c'gle on the Separate School 
 Question in 1850, 1855, and 1863— Attitude of the Members- of the Legislature on 
 both sides, and methods employed in moulding the Separate School Legislation of 
 
 these years, etc. ^ 
 
 The number and variety of these Personal References to prominent Individuals 
 
 will give an especial interest to this work. 
 
 Altogether, this Book will prove to be r. most valuable Fa.^e Mecum of wholly 
 authentic and reliable information on the interesting subject of which it treats. The 
 name of the Author is a sufficient guarantee for 'both the fulness and correctness, as 
 well as accuracy, of the information given.
