The first settlement (Quebec) was founded in 1608. In 1759 Quebec succumbed to the British force under General Wolfe, and in 1763 the whole territory of Canada became a possession of Great Britain by the Treaty of Paris of that year. Nova Scotia was ceded in 1713 by the Treaty of Utrecht, the Provinces of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island being subsequently formed out of it. POPULATION: Canada - 1890-4,324,810 with capital Ottawa with 44,000 inhabitants. FOOTNOTE: The 10 cents coinage of Canada is arranged by mints; Birmingham, London and Ottawa, followed by the Province of New Brunswick which ordered coins from the Royal Mint, London. Newfoundland which had its own unique coinage from 1862 used the same mints as Canada; Birmingham, London and Ottawa, but with much smaller mintages all struck in sterling. FOOTNOTE: Production records show the mintage for 1874 as 600,000 and 1875 as 1,000,000, however they do not indicate the dates of each issue. The issue of 1875 being more scarce.

FOOTNOTE: George William DeSaulles - The letters DES. appearing under the portrait of Edward VII on the coinage of Great Britain and Commonwealth countries denotes engraver George William DeSaulles. Born in Birmingham in 1862, the son of a glass merchant of French ancestry, he received his first art training while attending the Birmingham School of Art. From there DeSaulles progressed to an apprenticeship with a Birmingham diesinker. In 1884 he moved to London, having finished his apprenticeship and worked for John H. Pinches until 1884, when he returned to Birmingham for four years. During this time in Birmingham he worked for the medallist Joseph Moore. In 1892 DeSaulles heard that the position of engraver at the Royal Mint was to be filled due to the death of Leonard Charles Wyon. He applied for the post and his appointment was confirmed in 1893. During the next ten years he was actively engaged in the production of dies for British and Colonial coins, and official medals. A skillful craftsman and very fast worked, he frequently did all the designing, modeling and engraving for his own dies himself. His earlier work at the Royal Mint included the engraving of dies for the Old Head coinage of Victoria. From designs by various other artists, and he also modified some of the designs then in use on Victoria s coins. At the accession of Edward VII in 1901 desaulles designed and engraved the portrait for the new coinage, both the uncrowned head which appears on the coinage of Great Britain and the Empire of India and the crowned effigy of Canada, East Africa & Uganda Protectorate, Hong Kong, Straits Settlements and Australia, Newfoundland and Ceylon. Included among his designs are the 1894 reverse Y-3 British Honduras and the British trade dollar (1895) and the Straits Settlements Dollar (1903). DeSaulles was a dedicated artist and at the Royal Mint he worked very long hours. This eventually took its toll. On July 21, 1903 not long after he had completed his design for the Edward VII series, he died at Chiswick, England. ===================================================================== CANADA, British Province of LONDON MINT 10 CENTS 18MM.925 FINE 2.324 GRAMS 1858 1,216,402 OV: Laureate head of Victoria, facing left, VICTORIA DEI GRATIA REGINA (Victoria by the grace of God Queen) above, CANADA below.

POPULATION: Canada - 1861-3,090,561 FOOTNOTE: Canada in 1896 - The unorganized and unnamed portion of the Dominions of Canada this year was set apart into provisional districts. The territory east of Hudson s Bay, having the province of Quebec on the south and the Atlantic on the east, was to be hereafter known as Ungava, The territory embraced in the islands of the Artic Sea was to be known as Franklin, the Mackenzie River region as Mackenzie and the Pacific coast territory lying north of British Columbia and west of Mackenzie as Yukon. The Annual Register, 1895, p.391. FOOTNOTE: When the English government was established in Canada after the capture of Quebec and Montreal in 1790, only about two hundred of the sixty-five thousand inhabitants were of English origin, the rest were French. In 1774 the British Parliament passed the Quebec Act recognizing French traditions, customs, laws and the Catholic Church. During the American Revolution Loyalists in great numbers settled in the Maritime Provinces and in Upper Canada (Ontario). By 1806 eighty thousand Loyalists immigrants had crossed the frontier from the United States. In 1837 rebellion of the Liberals against the Loyalists in control of the government broke out in Upper Canada and in Lower Canada ( Quebec) also due to irritation of the French at British rule. Both rebellions were easily crushed, but the British sent over an investigator whose report in 1840 advocated self-government for the colonies. This was followed by the Act of Union, bringing the two Provinces under one government. By the British North American Act of 1867 Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were united in to the Dominion of Canada. In 1869 the extensive rights of the Hudson Bay Company were purchased. The Province of Manitoba was laid out in 1870, in 1871 British Columbia was admitted to the Federation and two years later Prince Edward Island. In 1905 Alberta and Saskatchewan came into the Union.

In March, however, there was an upswing in general economic activity which gained momentum with the beginning of business revival in the United States in April. The price of No.1 northern wheat rose from the low point of $0.42 per bushel in December,1932, to $0.83 in July,1933. Canada followed the United States on April 24, 1933 and officially went off the Gold Standard. As a result the Canadian dollar recovered from.83 cents in April to.96 cents by September. New Standard Year Book 1933. FOOTNOTE: Royal Visit - William VI, Edward VII, George V, Edward VIII and George VI all visited the Dominions of Canada before they succeeded to the throne of Great Britain, but the first Royal visit came during May and June 1939 when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth crossed the Atlantic to visit the senior Dominion of the British Commonwealth and the Canadian people. Because of the tense European political situation, England wanted all of her Navy at her disposal, so the Royal party of 23 sailed in the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Australia. The steamer was escorted by the cruisers Southampton and Glasgow. The King and Queen arrived in Quebec on May 17th and docked at Wolfe s Cove and were welcomed with a 21 gun salute. They traveled across Canada in a beautiful 12 car blue and silver train which followed a pilot train of press correspondents. Two coaches in the second train were reserved for the King and Queen containing sleeping quarters, bathrooms and observation section and a lounge and dining room car. They visited Montreal and Toronto and then headed for the Canadian wheatlands west. Stopping at Fort Garry for an interesting ceremony as prescribed in the original charter of the Hudson s Bay Company, granted in 1670. It stipulated that whenever the King visited the Company s domain, he or his heirs should receive in rent two elks and two rare black beavers. The Governor of the Company traveled all the way from London to present King George VI with the token payments. The trip continued on to Regina, Calgary where the Indians bestowed on His Majesty the title Great Chief Albino. They crossed the continental divide to Vancouver. The return trip brought the Royal party east to Niagara Falls and a visit to the United States before sailing from Nova Scotia at Halifax on the Empress of Britain on June 17,1939 for home.

New Brunswick is now a Province of the Dominion of Canada with many rivers and small farms. The rivers flow from the rich forest region of the north. These produce large quantities of lumber. The coast has many harbors which support a large fishing industry. About a quarter of the people are of French descent, the remaining all of English ancestry.

NEWFOUNDLAND The docks, St.John's, Newfoundland 1864-10 CENTS - REVERSE NEW BRUNSWICK FOOTNOTE: New Brunswick, part of British America, extends from Maine to the Gulf of St. Lawrence and is noted for its extensive forests and valuable fisheries. The climate, like that of Canada, is subject to great extremes of heat and cold, but is generally healthy. It is mostly a level province, and has generally a fertile soil. The principal articles of export are fish and timber. Frederickton, the capital of New Brundswick is situated on the River St. Johns, 80 miles from its mouth, at the head of sloop navigation. St. Johns, situated on the River St. Johns, 3 miles from its mouth, is the largest and most flourishing town in the Province. It has a good harbor and an extensive commerce. Olney s Geography, 1849. FOOTNOTE: The Colony of Newfoundland is a wilderness of bog, burnt land, rocky, barren and stunted forest - a great, fog-wrapped rock, thinly dusted with sterile earth - desolate, inhospitable, uninhabited from coast to coast, but the sea is generously stocked with fish. Out of a sea that is cold, rock-bound and swept by great winds are taken every year, by hook and trap, more than 150,000,000 pounds of cod, of which they consume one-fourth and sell the rest to other countries of the world. There are two classes of fisherman - the hook-and-line men and the far more prosperous trap men. The former fish off shore from their punts, but most of the trap men go far north to the Labrador Coast, live aboard or in turf huts ashore through the season, and return when the fall winds are blowing and the seas run high and the nights are bitter and black.

The first English colony was platted in 1621. A struggle for supremacy took place between the English and the French; but in 1713 Newfoundland and its dependencies were declared, by the Treaty of Utrecht, to belong wholly to Great Britain, the French reserving a right to fish and cure on certain parts of the coast. Responsible government was granted in 1833. For many years the colony declined to join the Canadian Confederation.

FOOTNOTE: Newfoundland - By 1903 the value of the Newfoundland catch of cod fish for export was $4,450,000 while the seal fishery came to approximately $400,000 for a haul of about 275,000 seals. Other items exported included lumber valued at $15,000 and copper and iron ore with a value of $600,000 per year. The articles of import included everything else and are brought to the Newfoundland fisherman by the outpost trader. Things that are damaged, or left over, or out of date, are offered in the cabin of the outpost trading schooners. Little more than the bare necessities of life are exchanged for the catch, and for the most part the traders are an unscrupulous lot of fellows, dealing sharply with their simple customers and among themselves. They make the fisherman pay high for all that he gets; he must pay the profit of the manufacturer in England, the profit of the English wholesaler, the profit of the St.John s importer and the enormous profit (usually about 100 percent) which the trader feels compelled to charge to protect himself against bad debts and bad seasons. Moreover he must pay the duty (direct taxation of any degree or kind whatsoever, by the way, would turn the Government out of office) which by this time, so corrupt, incompetent and extravagant have former administrations been, must be nearer forty than thirty percent., with nothing in the way of public improvements to show in the outposts. Besides all this is an antiquated credit system of dealing, fruitful in hardship and dishonesty. Cash is not in circulation in the outposts; if by some happy chance an outposter lays hands on a ten cent piece he stows it away in a secret place. It is a curious fact that the out-harbor fishermen are governed wholly from the Capital, St.John s, a city of 30,000 people. All authority is seated in the general government there; there is no municipal government in the outposts, and very little of it at the Capital. Thus, since practically the only source of revenue is the customs duties, the outposts are compelled to bear the burden of the support of the Health Department, Fire Department, Police Department, Public Library and even the street-lighting plant of St.John s. The Newfoundland outposts are hardy, courageous, boldly adventurous, simple-lived, Godfearing, warm-hearted a physically splendid race of men. The fishermen mortgages his next summer s catch for an outfit of salt beef, flour, salt for curing, etc., and having once done so, he is likely to live in debt for the rest of his days.
