Unless otherwise indicated, data for all maps and graphs were taken from the annual reports of the various chief superintendents and ministers of education for the several British North American colonies to 1867, and for the provinces of Canada after that date. Where data were reported by municipal districts other than counties, these were amalgamated or incorporated into counties with the assistance of the Gazetteer of Canada. |
