To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Governors of the Colonies in British America were, upon the whole, a splendid class of men. No more honor- able and able administrators can be found in the pages of history than Lord Dorchester, Sir Frederick Haldimand, Sir J. Coape Sherbrooke, the Earl of Dalhousie, Sir John Went- worth, Sir Peregrine Maitland, Major-General Simcoe, Sir John Colborne (Lord Seaton), Sir Howard Douglas, or Sir John Harvey. There were exceptions, of course, but even where ability or tact was lacking there is ...not in all Canadian annals the case of a British Governor guilty of dishonorable or mean public actions — unless it be the conduct of Sir George Prevost in the War of 1812, when acting as a military leader. This is an excellent record in the making of a young country. Yet many of the Governors were intensely unpop- ular. In Lower Canada the feeling was largely racial, and applied to all who did not come out with the deliberate ob- ject of giving the majority everything that they asked for. In the other Provinces it was due to their identification with a party in the Colony — the party of pronounced loyalty and of the power which goes with the possession of office.
