The Last Forty Years: Canada since the union of 1841. [With plates, including portraits
A two-volume popular history of Canada from 1841 onward, written by John Charles Dent and issued by George Virtue in Toronto in 1881 for general Canadian readers. Wood-engraved plates show river towns, waterfalls, mountain passes with pack trains, lake shores and college buildings, printed sideways on the page with small-caps captions beneath; useful for landscape vignettes, engraved foliage texture and nineteenth-century institutional architecture.
