This study has remained a standard reference on its subject and for some time has been available for purchase only through second-hand channels. In the intervening years Miss Cowan maintained an active interest in this field of history; for the present volume she has revised the earlier study in the light of her own and others' investigations and has expanded her discussion to include another quarter-century.The book is an attempt to give students and general readers something of the story of the outpouring of British subjects who peopled British North America in the years before Confederation. Economic dislocations coincident with the Napoleonic Wars and the industrial and agricultural revolutions were causing a vast uprooting of population. At the same time, the beginning of political and humanitarian reform brought a demand for assistance in poor relief, for land, labour and other improvements at home and for government aid in emigrating to the colonies. The author describes the various policies of governments on emigration, the activities of timber, mercantile and land companies which became greatly interested in the flow of population overseas, and the efforts of individual and societies to held the needy who took part in this epic movement. 606 $aHISTORY / Canada / Pre-Confederation (to 1867)$2bisacsh 607 $aGreat Britain$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 607 $aCanada$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / Canada / Pre-Confederation (to 1867). 676 $a304.8 700 $aCowan$b Helen I.$0995541 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149437203321 996 $aBritish emigration to British North America$92281070 997 $aUNINA
