"Canada under British Rule 1760-1900" is a seminal work by John George Bourinot that delves into the historical period of Canada's development as a British colony. In this insightful book, Bourinot examines the political, economic, and social dynamics that shaped the nation during this critical era. With meticulous research and a comprehensive approach, Bourinot explores the impact of British rule on Canada's governance, institutions, and society. He delves into topics such as the Quebec Act of 1774, the Constitutional Act of 1791, and the challenges and conflicts that arose during the rebellions of 1837-1838. The book delves into the complex relationships between the British Crown, colonial administrators, and the diverse communities that inhabited Canada during this period. Bourinot's exploration of economic developments, including the fur trade, railway expansion, and industrialization, offers valuable insights into Canada's economic transformation.

The Oxford History of the British Empire is a major new assessment of the Empire in the light of recent scholarship and the progressive opening of historical records. From the founding of colonies in North America and the West Indies in the seventeenth century to the reversion of Hong Kong to China at the end of the twentieth, British imperialism was a catalyst for far-reaching change. The Oxford History of the British Empire as a comprehensive study helps us to understand the end of Empire in relation to its beginning, the meaning of British imperialism for the ruled as well as for the rulers, and the significance of the British Empire as a theme in world history. This fifth and final volume shows how opinions have changed dramatically over the generations about the nature, role, and value of imperialism generally, and the British Empire more specifically. The distinguished team of contributors discuss the many and diverse elements which have influenced writings on the Empire: the pressure of current events, access to primary sources, the creation of relevant university chairs, the rise of nationalism in former colonies, decolonization, and the Cold War. They demonstrate how the study of empire has evolved from a narrow focus on constitutional issues to a wide-ranging enquiry about international relations, the uses of power, and impacts and counterimpacts between settler groups and native peoples. The result is a thought-provoking cultural and intellectual inquiry into how we understand the past, and whether this understanding might affect the way we behave in the future.
