In Its Corporate Capacity
Author: Brian J. Young
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773505544
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Since the 1660s, the Seminary of Montreal -- a French, male religious community -- had been an integral part of the merchant, seigneurial, and clerical elite that dominated Montreal. Its significance in pre-industrial society was strengthened by its role as seigneur of Montreal Island and titular parish priest. The Seminary survived the British conquest, but came under increasing attack in the early nineteenth century from industrial producers and large capitalists landlords who resented the Seminary's seigneurial expropriations. By the 1830s, anticlerical elements in the peasantry and other popular classes had joined in the attack.

Book Description
According to this innovative study, the conservation movement that eventually took hold throughout America had its roots among the communitarian ethic of New England countryfolk, rather than urban intellectuals or politicians.

George-Etienne Cartier
Author: Brian J. Young
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773503717
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
George-Etienne Cartier has traditionally been interpreted as primarily a federal politician, as Macdonald's ally in building a united Canada, and as a representative French Canadian. Brian Young downplays ethnic and national political factors and focuses on Cartier's function as spokesman for a specific social group, the Montreal bourgeoisie. The dominant politician in Quebec in the mid-1980s, Cartier directed the transformation of that society's fundamental landholding, legal, business, and educational institutions. Confederation was the political ingredient in the integration of Quebec into Canadian industrial society.
