Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an in-depth exploration of the transformation of land ownership and use in Canada from the French colonial period to the mid-19th century. The book examines the legal and political strategies undertaken by the British colonial administration and the Canadian government to reshape the land tenure system, replacing the feudal system and practices of the French regime with a system based on English common law. The author analyzes the impact of these changes on landownership, focusing on the tensions between the rights of landowners, tenants, and the state. The book sheds light on the formation of land property rights in Canada, providing a valuable contribution to the understanding of the development of Canadian law, society, and economy within the broader context of British imperial policies and the global transition from feudal to capitalist modes of production.
