Jan Noel. Toronto: University of Toronto Press 1995. Pp. viii, 310, illus. $19.95 Reviewed by Graeme Decarie Concordia University Ruth Spence's Prohibition in Canada appeared in 1919. Though the work of an amateur - if a remarkably careful one - its attention to detail has made it the standard work on the subject. Professor's Noel's study does not replace it for detail, but it does jostle Prohibition in Canada for shelf space as a co-standard by amending some of Spence's information and suggesting vast areas for investigation. Noel is commendably cautious about defining simple causes for the movement. Though she recognizes the importance of religious zeal in temperance - perhaps a little too much - she also notes its connections with material self-improvement, social control, questions of the morality of money-making, and various social reforms. It should be remembered that the movement was originally temperance, meaning an individual decision to cut down on drinking. By 1840, many temperance advocates had moved to total abstinence and, by the 1850s, to prohibition. In each period, all the stages of the movement were to be found, and all were commonly referred to simply as temperance.

BUMSTED St John's College, University of Manitoba Despite its ever-increasing prevalence in Canadian society, divorce remains a legal and social process not well understood by historians. The complex history of divorce, as a subfield of the nation's law and as a major social experience for the Canadian people - obviously connected with the institution of marriage that it dissolves - remains largely unexplored in this country. This work by James Snell, covering the period from 1900 to 1939, is the first modern book-length study of Canadian divorce by a historian. In the Shadow of the Law is a ground-breaking study that should stimulate a variety of new research, in both social and legal areas.

Population and Labour Force in British North America Growth of the Population Throughout the colonial period, population growth in the North American colonies was seen to be a good thing. Unlike the situation in some developing parts of the world today, it seemed likely that, given the abundance of land resources available in North America , additions to the population would raise rather than lower per capita incomes. The colonial governments in British North America consequently welcomed immigrants, although it was assumed that they would be from the British Isles or the US. As for natural increase, it seemed likely that in what was still a predominantly agrarian society, large families would be "natural". As for the mother countries, the position on emigration was less uniform. In France, at least in the 18 th Century, there had been a perception that labour was in short supply and consequently emigration was in most cases discouraged. In Britain, however, the effects of industrialization were already being felt and emigration was seen as a way of easing the burden of reallocating surplus agricultural labour to other employments. As for natural increase, the material benefits of having children in the setting of a land rich and labour poor economy were great relative to the costs. Children were a cheap and almost immediate source of additional labour for use in farming, fishing, or other primary pursuits. The marginal cost of supporting additional children was relatively low in the traditional rural household. All this began to change, of course, as British North America also began to experience industrialization, but through most of the 19

CRICKET IN CANADA An historical chronology before Confederation Prepared and collated by Jon Harris, with contributions from K. Boller. Cricket “was probably the first of the major games played in Canada, being popular in the garrisons in the late 18 th century”. ( Canadian Encyclopedia Records show that in a game was played on an island near Montreal, in the colony of Lower Canada. The garrison of  Fort York was established in , and is now in the heart of Toronto. Cricket has a long association with the City of Toronto, for cricket had been played at the Home District Grammar School, which was founded in . Most of the early matches played in Toronto were ‘friendlies’, There is a record of cricket, in the form of an engraving, being played on the ice in The participants were the crews of two Royal Navy vessels, under the command of Capt. Parry, which became trapped in the ice near the island of Igloolik close to the Arctic Circle. Certainly these games were the venue of the first cricket played in Canada’s far north. Beyond playing cricket, the crews created a year long record of meteorological data.  According to the Canadian  Encyclopedia  “The first regular club formed was probably the St. John’s Cricket Club (

It was finalized with the signing, by Queen Victoria of the British North America Act on March 29 Before 1867, British North America was a collection of six separate colonies: Nova Scotia New Brunswick , the Province of Canada (now Quebec and Ontario Newfoundland Prince Edward Island , and British Columbia . Only the first three listed here joined Confederation at first, but all did eventually, the last being Newfoundland in . (The remainder of modern-day Canada was made up of Rupert's Land , which was owned by the Hudson's Bay Company and ceded to Canada in 1870, and the Arctic Islands , which were under direct British control.) The Act, which united the Province of Canada (which was also re-separated into Ontario and Quebec), New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, came into effect on July 1 that year.

Confederation was the response of British North America (BNA) to a vast range of challenges and opportunities above and beyond the influence of the American Civil War. However, such Civil War-related incidents as the Trent Affair, the Chesapeake Incident, the St. Albans Raid, abrogation of the Reciprocity Treaty, the Alabama Claims, the Fenian War, and the ever-present Fear of Annexation all contributed to the ultimate union.

They're called "Canada Geese" after someone whose last name is "Canada." They're not named for Canadian origin, so the actual confederation of that state is perhaps skew. posted by scarabic at 10:30 PM PST on January 11 I'm basing that on an NPR story I head a while back, and currently looking for supporting material... posted by scarabic at 10:31 PM PST on January 11 heh... I'm getting both "canadian geese" and "canada geese" from the NPR search engine (copy-check, people!) so I guess consider my input apocryphal until further notice. posted by scarabic at 10:41 PM PST on January 11 Well, Canada vs. Canadian goose seems to be a last refuge of pedants, for one thing. But y'know, Canada was a name of the place long before Confederation. It's generally agreed that the name was first given to what is now called the St. Lawrence; it is so named in the 1603 charter given by France to Pierre du Gast , a Huguenot who accomplished the earliest permanent settlements, and is cited as early as 1535 in more specific sense. I'd wager that the first scientific description of the beast comes slightly after that. Audubon called it the
