British North America at confederation : a study prepared for the Royal Commission on Dominion-Provincial Relations / by D.G. Creighton.: Z1-1937/2-41-2E-PDF

"Professor Creighton's first chapters discuss the influences which, before Confederation, affected all the British North American colonies alike. In succeeding chapters he relates the economic history—roughly for the period 1850-67—of the Canadas, the Maritimes, the prairies and the Pacific coast settlements. The second half of the study deals with the economic aims of Confederation; public finance before 1867; the financial settlement reached in that year; and finally the first consequences of that settlement"--Editorial Foreword, page 6.
