Title
Administration of Land Policy and the Growth of Corporate Economic Organization in Lower Canada, 1791-1809
Abstract
A study of the relationship between the emergence of indigenous corporate forms of economic activity in the Eastern Townships between 1791 and 1809, and land tenure of free and common socage. The author argues that there were economic organizations in the sphere of land exploitation during the period under review, which although not corporations in the strict legal sense nevertheless did display most of the rudimentary characteristics of corporate activity. He outlines the two distinct but related causes of the emergence of these corporate forms.
