 Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
John Galt’s connection with the Canada Company would, he felt, be remembered “when my numerous books are forgotten.” Between 1807 and 1836 (the whole of his active life) he published more than 30 items which relate to North America, the majority of them concerning the Canadas.
Galt was convinced that the accuracy of his portraits of pioneer life, which he believed were superior to those by American James Fenimore Cooper, would ensure their increasing value.
Galt’s recall from Upper Canada at the height of his career as a colonizer crippled his North American pursuits, and his British reputation was injured by the disorganized state of his literary affairs at the time of his death.

 John Galt and the Lizars Collection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Any discussion of rare editions of John Galt’s books must begin with some attempt to define his literary output from a bibliographical point of view, since more than half of the forty odd books which he wrote were not reprinted in the nineteenth century, and many of them have still not been reprinted.
John Galt’s reputation as an author has primarily rested on the West Country Scottish novels published during this period (Annals of the parish, 1821; Ayshire legatees, 1821; Sir Andrew Wylie 1822; The Provost, 1822; The entail, 1822; and the Last of the lairds, 1826) all of which were published by William Blackwood.
Galt’s estimation of his status was certainly overblown; provincial officials would have been dismayed to know that he considered himself next to the Lieutenant Governor in importance in Upper Canada.
