About this book
The Stamps of Canada is by Bertram W. H. Poole. The text says that the treaty of peace in 1783 took away from Canada territory now included within Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. In 1791, owing to differences of race, Upper Canada was separated from Lower Canada, but discontent resulted in rebellion in 1837-8 which occasioned Lord Durham's mission and report.
In 1867, as an escape from the deadlocks which occurred, confederation was consummated. The Behring Sea award (1897) settled the sealing difficulty. The stamps were, as usual, produced by the line-engraved process, and they were printed in sheets of 100. The text describes registration stamps that were not only of distinctive design but also of distinctive shape.
