Vol. 2. Under British Rule, 1760-1914" by William H. Atherton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides an in-depth examination of Montreal's evolution under British governance following the city's capitulation in 1760. Atherton explores the duality of French and British cultures coexisting within the city, highlighting their distinct contributions and the complexities of their relationships. The opening of the volume introduces the foundational events that led to British rule in Montreal, beginning with a detailed account of the city's capitulation during a military operation. The narrative captures the transition from French to British authority, spotlighting significant figures like General Amherst and Governor Vaudreuil. It emphasizes the mixed emotions involved in this shift, detailing both the British soldiers' perspectives and the lingering sentiments of the departing French officials. The author's tone suggests an effort to establish a balanced historical record that respects both the French and the British narratives, setting the stage for the city's post-conquest development and the challenges faced in the wake of this significant political change.
