WELLS, W[illiam] B[enjamin] [1809-1881].
Canadiana: Containing Sketches Of Upper Canada And The Crisis In Its Political Affairs.
London: Printed For The Author By C. and W.Reynell, 1837..
2 Parts in 1 [Part II with separate title, but pagination continuous]. 8vo. pp. 84; [85]-202. Uncut in original plain blue wrs. (spine defective - removed from a bound volume, light spotting to outer leaves, lower portion of back wr. wanting). First Edition. Wells, the son of a loyalist who immigrated to Canada from New Hampshire in 1787, studied law in the office of Marshall Spring Bidwell in Kingston. Called to the bar in 1833, he practised law in Prescott and also worked as a journalist. From 1834 to 1836 he represented Grenville in the House of Assembly of Upper Canada, where he soon took an active part in the reform movement. The present work was written while Wells was in England (1836-37), where he had gone to protest the actions of Sir Francis Bond Head and present the demands of the Reformers to the colonial secretary, Lord Glenelg. "Though the book contained inaccuracies and was extreme in its treatment of Head and prominent Tories such as John Strachan, it was a clear and well-argued presentation of the radical Reform programme of the time. It advocated such measures as responsible government, an elected legislative council, control of the clergy reserves, separation of church and state, annulment of the charter of the Canada Company, revision of charter of King's College (Toronto), abolition of primogeniture, adoption of the secret ballot, reform of the land granting system, and a more equitable distribution of public offices. Wells ended with a threat of armed rebellion and the "forced separation" of the British North American colonies, should all other means of reform fail." (DCB) Wells himself did not take an active part in the rebellion of 1837 but fearing arrest, he fled to Ogdensburg, and did not return to Upper Canada until November, 1838. TPL 2125. Casey I 1582.
