	Book Reviews - Assisting Emigration to Upper Canada: The Petworth Project, 1832-1837.
		In 1836 Sir Francis Bond Head (who is best remembered for precipitating the uprising led by William Lyon MacKenzie) arrived in Upper Canada and replaced Colborne as Lieutenant-Governor.
		Bond Head was fresh from his success of efficiently introducing the new Poor Law in England's Kent county and was opposed, in principle, to government assistance to immigrants on either side of the Atlantic.
		The new political ideas which were current in England and in Upper Canada help to explain why the Petworth Project did not continue and why there was no large scale government assisted emigration and settlement in the years that followed.

	Journal of Canadian Studies: Emigrant and the Noble Savage: Sir Francis Bond Head's Romantic Approach to Aboriginal Policy in Upper Canada, 1836-1838, The
		Sir Francis Bond Head (1793-1875) was a respected man of letters and the Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada from January 1836 until March 1838.
		Head's commentators have remarked in passing that he was "a romantic" (Smith 1987, 162), but the important relationship between his Romanticism and his political practice has never been analyzed in the detail that it warrants.
		A careful analysis of Head's proposed Indian policy reveals that many nineteenth-century Romantic perceptions of Aboriginal peoples, while seemingly benevolent, were none the less highly consistent with colonial policies that sought to alienate Aboriginal peoples from their lands and to segregate them from contact with European settler societies.

		The name Head was originally derived from the Old English "heafod," which meant "head." It has been suggested that the surname Head belongs to the class of topographic surnames, names taken on from nearby geographical features; thus the Head family would have lived at the head of a valley, or river.
		Alernately, Head may have also been a nickname for someone with a large or distinctive head, which was then taken on as a surname.
