		The reputation Logan had acquired from his skilful mapping of the geology of South Wales, and the fact that he was a native Canadian, obtained him the appointment in the spring of 1842 at an annual salary of £500, just half of what he had been receiving in Wales.
		One of Logan’s close associates in Montreal, and a leading authority on the geology of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, was the influential John William Dawson*, principal of McGill University.
		Logan stated: “The object of the Survey is to ascertain the mineral resources of the country,” and the survey still operates on this principle.

		James Logan, like many of his countrymen, thought of bettering his fortunes in the New World, and taking his wife and two sons with him, William, the eldest, born in 1759 (the father of Sir William), and Hart, the youngest, born in 1784, and found his way to Montreal.
		The time-honoured sequence was thus, and as time rolled on they became the parents of nine children, five sons and four daughters; and the subject of this sketch was the third child of this union.
		Logan devoted himself to the study of the coal fields of that region; and his minute and accurate maps and sections were adopted by the ordnance geological survey, and published by the Government, under Sir Henry de la Bèche's superintendence.

		Sir William had not married and had devoted long periods to geological field work as well as to being principal administrative officer of Canada’s first government scientific organization; his life of loneliness, to some degree self-imposed, was culminated by burial remote from the land for which he had worked so diligently.

		Logan’s activities in present day Quebec are well documented, but there is little record of his journey through the Maritime coalfields in the preceding month.
		Widely regarded as a meticulous, bed-by-bed section, Logan’s notes reveal that only coal-bearing intervals were measured directly; values for the rest of the section were based on paced distances, many of which were not converted to thickness until after he left Joggins.

		Primary emphasis is given to the few individuals at the centre of scientific organization in the Canadas -- William Edmond Logan, first director of the Geological Survey (1843--70), John Henry Lefroy of the Toronto Magnetic and Meteorological Observatory (1844--53), and Queen's University's George Lawson, founder of the Botanical Society of Canada in 1860.
		For example, William Logan's geological surveys and maps expanded the self-awareness of Canadians, informed them of their province's industrial limitations and possibilities, and revealed how the Canadas needed other British North American territories.
		Logan's conclusion that the United Province of Canada lacked workable coal deposits (a pre-requisite for industrial wealth and power on the British motel) prompted Canadian elites to recognize their `community of interests' with the coal-rich Maritime colonies.

		Logan's field notebooks and personal journals are dispersed over several archives; now, for the first time, they are reunited thanks to the collaboration of Library and Archives Canada and its partner institutions -- McGill University Archives, the National Library of Wales, Natural Resources Canada and the Toronto Public Library.
		The way Logan and his colleagues presented their geological knowledge to Canadians, and to the world, changed perceptions of this land forever.
