CONSTITUTIONAL

HISTORY AND LAW.

BY

A. R. HASSARD, B.C.L.,

Of Osgoode Hall, Toronto, Barrister-at-La
Author of "Private International Law."

TORONTO:

THE CARSWELL COMPANY, LIMITED.

1900.

PREFACE.

The present publication aims at presenting within moderate compass the fundamental principles of Canadian Constitutional History and Law. No other work combines the subjects contained in both parts of this book, although it seems fitting, from the intimate relationship which exists between Canadian Constitutional History and Canadian Constitutional Law, that the two subjects should be treated together. The condensed character of the treatise, too, when compared with other expositions of the subjects it comprises may perhaps commend the volume to some of its readers. Mr. John A. Rowland, B.A., has expended considerable pains in assuming charge of the preparation of Part I. of the book, and has placed that portion of the volume in its present form.

Entered according to Act of the Parliament of Canada, in the office of

the Minister of Agriculture, in the year one thousand nire hundred, by THE CARSWELL CO., LIMITED.
