<p>"The essays in <i>The Quebec Conference of 1864</i> analyze a variety of lesser-known contemporary understandings of the Quebec Resolutions that will be of benefit to students of the period. They also contribute to the editors' aim of providing a modified originalist perspective, whereby historical context "is crucial to comprehending the internal architecture of the contemporary Canadian constitutional edifice" (9). It is to be hoped that such an approach spurs further discussions on the broader historical context of Canadian Confederation that may even supply some of what was missing from this volume."
