| Title |
Searching for the 'Vanguard of an Army of Scots' in the Early Canadian Book Trade
|
| Abstract |
The author describes and analyses what reading material from Scotland was available in Canada in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. She also explains the business methods by which these books were made available. The author found that the key business factor which determined whether Scottish publishers and booksellers exported to Canada was having a known contact in a Canadian town. Among the case studies she examines is that of the Scottish-born John Neilson (1776-1848), a Quebec City publisher, printer, bookseller, politician who had emigrated to Canada in 1791.
