Henry Scadding (1813-1901) was a distinguished Canadian scholar, historian, and Anglican clergyman of English descent. Born in Devonshire, England, he emigrated to Upper Canada with his father at a young age, where he later became a prominent intellectual figure. Educated at the University of Toronto and ordained a priest, Scadding served as a rector and a teacher while pursuing his passion for history and literature. He is best known for his seminal work, 'Toronto of Old' (1873), which is considered a foundational text in the historiography of Toronto. In this book, Scadding provides a detailed narrative of the city's early history, interspersed with vivid descriptions and engaging anecdotes that bring to life the Toronto of the past. This book has been instrumental in shaping the understanding of Toronto's heritage and remains a valuable resource for historians.
