Abstract
"In early Upper Canada the attorney general was little more than a skilled functionary -- the Crown's chief legal counsel; by the mid-19th century he had become a leading member of cabinet and generally premier. Mr Attorney is the story of this transformation and many other aspects of the attorney general's role in 19th-century Ontario." - Voila
