    Series Book 32 - Journal of the Canadian Historical Association

  • Civilization

    From Enlightenment Philosophy to Canadian History

    by Elsbeth Heaman ...
    Colonial Canada changed enormously between the 1760s and the 1860s, the Conquest and Confederation, but the idea of civilization seen to guide those transformations changed still more.
