Autorenporträt
John George Bourinot, born at Sydney, Nova Scotia, on October 24, 1836, was a Canadian historian, writer, and civil servant, recognized for his scholarly work in Canadian political history and parliamentary procedure. With a particular focus on the evolution of British influence in the country, his comprehensive treatises contribute significantly to understanding Canada's constitutional and political development. His magnum opus, 'Canada Under British Rule 1760-1900' (1901), is a seminal work that meticulously chronicles the growth of the Dominion from its colonial inception to a burgeoning national entity within the British Empire. Predominantly focused on the period following the Treaty of Paris, which marked the end of the Seven Years' War, Bourinot's narrative encapsulates the administrative and legislative transformations that shaped Canadian sovereignty. His literary style is marked by a lucid prose combined with an acute understanding of parliamentary dynamics, often reflective of the stringent methodologies employed by contemporary historians. Bourinot's contributions extend to other notable works such as 'Parliamentary Procedure and Practice in the Dominion of Canada' and 'The Story of Canada'. His scholarly pursuits earned him the position of the fourth Clerk of the House of Commons in Canada from 1880 to 1902. John Bourinot's commitment to delineating the intricacies of Canada's political fabric has solidified his legacy as a foundational figure in the stewardship of Canadian historiography. He passed away on October 13, 1902, in Ottawa, leaving behind a rich legacy as an author that continues to shape understandings of Canada's political heritage.
