| | Chester Martin, Sir Edmund Head and Canadian Confederation, 1851-1858 (1929) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | The disaster which threatened the Canadian Union was foreseen by Durham himself in the stipulations which he made, but made in vain, against the principle of equal representation for the upper and lower sections of the province. |
 | | Galt's place in Canadian history is secure, but I cannot help thinking that Head's has been obscured, largely perhaps by the brilliant qualities of his predecessor Lord Elgin, and still more effectually, I am inclined to think, by his own self-effacing modesty. |
 | | Denying that he had brought the 'subject under the notice of the Canadian Parliament for the first time' in his Speech from the Throne on August 16, he remarked that "it was before them at that very time." |
