Canada's Governors General: Biography and Constitutional
Evolution 1847–1878, Barbara J. Messamore, Toronto: University
of Toronto Press, 2006, pp. viii, 308.There is no comprehensive history of the office of governor general, a
scholarly lapse that this book goes only part way in repairing.
Canada's Governors General covers the period 1847 to 1878,
that is, from Lord Elgin's signing of the controversial Rebellion
Losses Bill, because his advisers who controlled the colonial legislative
assembly advised him to do so, to the receipt of new Letters Patent and
Instructions thirty years later from London. The intent of these last was
to provide greater certainty about the function and role of the governor
general following Lord Dufferin's excitable interventions in the wake
of the Pacific Scandal to maintain British Columbia's adhesion to
Confederation.
