An indispensable portrait of a city at the pivot of a nation. A city revealed in detail. Douglas Borthwick’s History And Biographical Gazetteer Of Montreal To The Year 1892 assembles precise, alphabetic entries on streets, institutions and the men and women whose lives shaped nineteenth-century Montreal, functioning as both a Canadian city gazetteer and a practical biographical dictionary for Canada. Part directory, part social chronicle, the book maps civic change, commerce and migration and sets individual stories against the development of municipal life. Its approachable tone and careful organisation make it a rare Canadian historical reference that suits casual browsing as readily as sustained research in Montreal local history.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. As an academic history resource and a foundation for Canadian heritage studies, it provides historians with compact entries that suggest archival leads and contextual routes into the era. Family historians and anyone practising genealogy research in Canada will find the attention to names, occupations and addresses a useful pointer to further records; students of historical figures in Montreal will find concise portraits that clarify civic networks. Collectors and classic-literature enthusiasts seeking a collectors history edition or a local historians guide will appreciate an edition that honours the original while remaining reader-friendly. Used alongside maps, newspapers and municipal registers, Borthwick’s gazetteer forms a practical complement to specialist work and casual inquiry alike, and stands as a trustworthy Montreal 1800s reference for shelves, seminars and study rooms.
