Young interprets codification as part of a larger process that included the collapse of the Lower Canadian rebellions, the decline of seigneurialism, expansion of bourgeois democracy in central Canada, professionalization of the bar, and formation of the institutional state. Central to codification was a profound ideological shift in Lower Canadian society that gave priority to exchange and individual property rights. Young examines the evolution of codification from its nationalist origins in the 1820s and 1830s into a Civil Code that was integral to Confederation and became a flagship of bilingualism in Quebec. The formation of the commission, the work of the codifiers, and the reaction of the anglophone minority and the Roman Catholic hierarchy are considered, as is the Code's meticulous blending of a conservative social vision with the principles of freedom of property. The Politics of Codification will be of great interest to students of law, members of the legal professions, and Canadian social and legal historians.

The end of the Lower Canada rebellions of 1837-8 assured the survival of the Seminary. Assuming a reinforced social and ideological role in industrializing Montreal, the Seminary benefited from new corporate powers, rights of recruitment, and income, while its expanding social role ensured its protection by an appreciate bourgeoisie. Emphasizing economic rather than religious history, Brian Young's study compares the Seminary's pre-industrial forms of income to its new capitalist revenues from land sales, subdivision developments, bonds, and rentier income from office, warehousing, and urban-housing properties. Its changing income required new forms of management and the priest-manager was eventually assisted by an accountant, architect, surveyor, clerk, and several notaries and lawyers. The Seminary played a central role in the development of popular schools in Montreal, and in financing and directing social institutions such as hospitals, newspapers, libraries, and national societies, the Seminary of Montreal legitimized the changing class structure of industrializing Montreal.

Fondé en 1852, le cimetière Mont-Royal est depuis longtemps un espace public cher aux Montréalais. C'est le lieu où sommeillent du repos éternel l'homme politique Sir John Abbott, le poète F.R. Scott, l'étoile du hockey Howie Morenz, l'explorateur David Thompson aux côtés de banquiers, d'apostats, d'un bourreau et de victimes du Titanic. Brian Young nous mène dans le périple captivant de l'histoire sociale du cimetière qui nous révèle son évolution depuis sa naissance en tant que lieu de sépulture rural et protestant, jusqu'à sa condition actuelle de cimetière urbain et multiethnique. L'essai du photographe de renom Geoffrey James capte l'interaction de la beauté et de la mort dans le cimetière.
