Book Synopsis The Capacity to Judge by : Jeffrey L. McNairn
Book excerpt: Arguing that voluntary associations and the press created a reading public capable of reasoning on matters of state, McNairn traces the emergence of 'public opinion' as a new form of authority in mid-19th century Upper Canada.
