Excerpt from Twelfth Report of the Bureau of Archives: For the Province of Ontario Perhaps the most interesting subject from an historical point Of view in this volume is the account Of the commercial and financial relations then developing between Upper and Lower Canada, and Mr. John Beverley Robinson, the Attorney General's mission to Britain in connection therewith. It will be seen that as early as 1822 a proposal for the legislative union Of these provinces was seriously considered by the British Government. In view of subsequent events the opinions on this proposal expressed by Mr. Robinson, one of the ablest men of his day in Upper Canada, are of special significance.
