In the year 1861 a meeting was convened at the EducationOffice, Toronto, with the view of establishing an Historical Societyfor Upper Canada. The writer, as an Upper Canadian by birth,and deeply interested in his country with respect to the past as wellas the future, was present. The result of that meeting was theappointment of a Committee to frame a Constitution and By-Laws,and take the necessary steps to organize the proposed Society, andto report three weeks thereafter.
The Committee consisted of the Hon. Mr. Merritt, Rev. Dr.Ryerson, Col. Jarvis, Mr. DeGrassi, Mr. Merritt, J. J. Hodgins, Dr.Canniff and Mr. Coventry.
