A founding member of the Royal Society of Canada, he played a leading role during the Society's first twenty years. Ahead of his time in writing intellectual history, Bourinot was also an early supporter of higher education for women. He was a man of contrasts, an early Canadian nationalist as well as an imperialist. In spite of the constitutional changes of 1982, there is still much in Bourinot's writing that is relevant today.IntellectualsCanadaBiographyPolitical scientistsCanadaBiographyCanadaBiographyIntellectualsPolitical scientists971.05Banks Margaret A.1928-920719MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781905403321Sir John George Bourinot, Victorian Canadian3820308UNINA
