That very important measure, Constitutional Act, went into effect on December 26th, 1791. It was passed during the premiership of William Pitt the Younger, son of the great War Minister, who had sent Wolfe to the capture of Quebec, and it had moreover the powerful, sup- port of Lord Dorchester who, as Sir Guy Carleton, had had Jong experience of conditions in Canada. By it the two provisices of Upper and Lower Canada were created, the boundary line between them being so traced that the great majority of people on the one side were French and onthe othtp English. Upon the whole the few English in- habitants of French Canada were bitterly opposed to the Act, but the new English settlers of Canada West hailed it with delight, for it gave to both provinces the boon of representative government and made the existing laws subject to appeal or variation by the provincial legista- tur s. This enabled the provinces to retain the British criminal liws, and while permitting the French of Lower Canada, who preferred it, to keep the French system of civil law, enabled the English, who found it vurdensomie and incomprehensible, to free thems lves from it. eS THIS DATE IN HISTORY, December 26. 1791 Canada divided into two provinces, Upper and Lower Canada. 1811 The governor and many other of the leading cit- zens of Virginia perished in a theater fire in Rich- mond. - 3a re 1812 Great Britain proclaimed a blockade of the Ches- apeake and the Delaware. 1831 Stephen Girard, eminent philanthropist, and banker, died in Philadelphia.
