Project Gutenberg 2020-09-08 Public domain in the USA. 96 Sage, W. N. (Walter Noble) 1888 1963 Sage, Walter Noble Sir George Arthur and His Administration of Upper Canada Produced by Al Haines "Sir George Arthur and His Administration of Upper Canada" by W. N. Sage is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book details the political and administrative actions of Sir George Arthur, the last Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada before the region's union in 1841. It explores the complex political landscape of Upper Canada during a period marked by unrest, reformism, and interactions with influential figures like Lord Durham and Lord Sydenham. The text provides insights into Arthur's governance during significant events, including Mackenzie's rebellion and subsequent reactions from both loyalists and reformers in the province. Throughout the book, W. N. Sage delves into Sir George Arthur's policies and decisions, illustrating his staunch conservative leanings and unwavering support for the Family Compact, a group of loyalists resisting the reformist movement. Arthur's term was marked by significant controversies, notably his refusal to reprieve two leaders of the rebellion, Samuel Lount and Peter Matthews, culminating in their execution. Sage portrays Arthur as a figure constrained by his military background, demonstrating a lack of empathy for reformist sentiments and an inability to adapt to the changing political climate of his time. The narrative ultimately examines the consequences of Arthur's rigid approach within the broader context of Canadian history, showcasing the tension between colonial governance and the emerging desire for responsible government among the populace.
