Acknowledgements
I am indebted to a great many people. First, I wish to gratefully thank the Foundation for Canadian Studies in the U.K. for their grant toward my research and travel costs.
I have relied on the wide-ranging primary sources to be found in English County Record Offices, the Canadian national and provincial archives, and in the Special Collections at English universities, especially the missionary reports of Anglican and Methodist missionaries. In carrying out this work, I am indebted to the many librarians and archivists on both sides of the Atlantic who helped me. In particular, I wish to thank Peter Nockles at the John Rylands Library in Manchester, Liz Sykes at the Manchester County Record Office, Rene Jackaman at the Devon Record Office, Kris Inwood at the Eccles Centre in the British Library, and Claire Skinner at the Wiltshire History Centre. I want to especially thank the archival and library staff at Library and Archives Canada, the Glenbow Archives, the City of Toronto Reference Library, the East Riding of Yorkshire Archives in Beverley, and the Manchester Archives.
I am grateful to the many people who helped me to locate and obtain illustrations. In particular, I thank Dominic R. Labb, in McMasterville, Quebec, for providing me with photographs of Anglican and Methodist churches in southwestern Quebec and the Eastern Townships. I am indebted to Dr. Gordon Goldsborough of the Manitoba Historical Society for supplying a photograph of St. James Anglican Church in Winnipeg. I am very grateful to David Hill-Turner, curator of the Nanaimo Museum in British Columbia, for providing a photograph of one of the early Staffordshire miners who settled in Nanaimo and for sending me invaluable documentary material. I also thank Jane Hodkinson of the Manchester Library, Dorothy Clayton of the John Rylands Library (University of Manchester), Anna Butler of the Dorset County Museum, and Mrs. H. Clarke of the East Riding of Yorkshire Archives in Beverley. I also thank Alan Walker of the Special Collections Department at the Toronto Reference Library, Erin Strouth of the Archives of Ontario, Susan Kooyman of the Glenbow Archives, John Boylan of the Public Archives and Records Office of Prince Edward Island, and Theresa Sorel of the Ottawa Archives.
