Constitution of Canada; The British North American Act, 1867; Its interpretation, gathered from the decisions of courts, the dicta of judges, and the opinions of statesmen and others; To which is added the Quebec Resolutions of 1864 and the Constitution of the United States: by Joseph Doutre, vii+9–414p, Montreal, J. Lovell & Son, 1880. (“The design of this work is not to be a commentary upon the text of the Federal compact, but to bring together, by the side of the text, the decisions of the Courts, with the dicta of judges and statesmen; and to discover the principles which will aid those engaged in framing Federal or Provincial laws, and the legal profession generally in the interpretation of the Constitution of the Country.” - Pref. p. v. The author includes many U.S. Federal cases, since “frequently our Judges have been compelled, in the absence of other precedents, to look to the decisions of the highest Court of that Confederacy; for that Republic also consists of a Federal Union of separate Sovereign States with a written constitution prescribing” their respective spheres of action. - Ibid., p. vi. An appendix contains the text of the Quebec Resolutions, 1864.)
