Mr Attorney: The Attorney General for Ontario in Court, Cabinet, and Legislature 1791-1899

by Paul Romney

In early Upper Canada the attorney general was little more than a skilled functionary -- the Crown's chief legal counsel; by the mid-19th century he had become a leading member of cabinet and generally premier. Mr Attorney is the story of this transformation and many other aspects of the attorney general's role in 19th-century Ontario.
