Plunder, Profit, and Paroles: A Social History of the War of 1812 in Upper Canada
Sheppard demonstrates that the colony was a fragmented and pluralistic community before the war and remained so after it. Upper Canadians were divided by racial, religious, linguistic, and class differences and the majority of settlers had no strong ties to either the United States or Britain, with most men avoiding military service during the war.

The port of Punta has so many salt works, that it supplies the whol…
Notes on the Climate and Physiography of Southwestern Ecuador
T HE coastal region of southwestern Ecuador has attracted considerable attention through the investigations for petroleum lately carried on there under the stimulus of the rapidly increasing development of the rich Peruvian fields of the Paita-Tumbes coastal region immediately to the south.'
