Product Description
A collection of essays by 23 prominent Canadian economic geographers, this text is a detailed study of the evolving economic and geographic patterns of Canadian development. It is published at the time of Canada's entry into NAFTA (North American Free Trade Association). The work's contributors explore four central themes: the locational impacts of the openness of the Canadian economy; Canada's relatively simple economic geography in terms of regional variations in resources and urban development; the problems of keeping pace with rapid advances in technology; and the role of the government in maintaining a national market and assisting economic development. The text outlines the essential elements of Canada's contemporary economic geography, highlights the origins and spatial imprint of change in the Canadian economy, and provides an assessment of Canada's participation in significant international patterns of economic change.It is concerned not only with the economic size and location of consumption and production but also with institutional changes and shifts in employment, the sectoral composition of economic activity, and the organizational structure and locational behaviour of particular industries and firms. Particular attention is given to the technological development of both established industries and new service and manufacturing activities. The text provides a geographic perspective on significant changes in jobs and types of work that result from the transformation of economic activities. ... Read more

JAMES'S, WESTMINSTER.Who would conceive that the harbarous brick-cased and ill-shapeu pile which stands on the south side of Piccadilly, encloses one of the choicest and most elegantly formed interiors which this metropolis can boast?—one which displays, in the highest degree, the extraordinary talents of our great architect, Sir Christopher Wren ? Yet this is the fact, and we can account for its beauties being, except to professional men, unknown, only by its grim and forbidding aspect, which does not invite the spectator to close inspection: it is like the toad, " ugly and venomous, yet wears a precious jewel in its head." Before describing it, a brief view of its history and foundation will be necessary.The church, as well as the district for which it served, which latter was formerly part of the parish of St. Martin- in-the-Fields, was constituted parochial by the authority of parliament, in the first year of James II., on account of the great increase of buildings in these parts, which rendered another church necessary for the accommodation of the inhabitants. The church was, however, built in the reign of Charles II.; and, though of no small dimensions, was considered only as a chapel of ease to St. Martin's till the year 1684.The gallant Earl of St. Alban's (who was supposed to have been privately married to the Queen-Dowager HenriettaMaria), at the head of the chief persons of distinction in the neighbourhood, was founder of this church, the expense of which amounted to somewhat less than £8,000. On the death of the earl, letters patent issued, May 31, 1684, to Thomas, Lord Jermyn, his nephew, granting the church and cemetery in trust to him and his heirs for ever. He assigned it over to Sir Walter Clarges, Bart., and others, in trust, as a chapel of ease, ... ... Read more

HUNDREDS AND MANORS OF SURREY, FROMTHE DOMESDAY BOOK. PARISHES OF SURREY.what period Surrey was constituted a distinct County is uncertain; and it is equally unknown at what time,, or by whom, the county was subdivided into Hundreds. In- gulphus, indeed, a monk of Croyland, whose authority has obtained much credence, says that King Alfred, (usually and deservedly styled Alfred the Great,)first divided England into Counties, because the natives committed outrages like the Danes, and under pretence of acting against them. He subdivided the counties into Hundreds and Tythings, ordaining that every man in the kingdom should live within some hundred and tything. He also divided the governors (praefects) of the provinces, before called lieutenants, (viscounts) into two departments, judges, now called justices, and sheriffs (viscounts) who still retain their name ; and by their care and diligence, the kingdom enjoyed such perfect peace in a short time, that if a traveller left any sum of money in the fields or high roads at night, he would find it whole and untouched next morning, or even a month after.'l William of Malmesbury has given a similar account of the territorial and judicial arrangements of Alfred; and says—c by these means he restored peace to the kingdom, so that he caused golden bracelets to be hung up in the crossings of the public roads, which mocked the rapacity of passengers, none daring to take them away.'2 Cainden seems to adopt the statement of Ingulphus, as to the institution of counties and their subdivisions by Alfred; and Mr. Sharon Turner says this sovereign is represented1 Ingulph.
