Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The First "New Province" Of the Dominion
Throughout the developments hitherto the attitude of the Hudson's Bay Company seems to have been regarded as a secon dary consideration: a fact which is not altogether to be explained by the vehemence of Canadian claims or the apathy of the British government. The old Company had been bought in 1863 by the International Financial Company, with Sir Edmund Head him self as the new Governor. It was argued, not without a measure of justice, that the purchase of Hudson's Bay stock with full knowledge of the conditions weakened very materially any claim which the old Company might have advanced for special con sideration.
