Series consists of a chapter relating to Canada, from an anonymous manuscript draft of a history of the work of the S.P.G. written about 1826. The chapter contains many footnotes and quotations from various sources, including contemporary histories, letters, proceedings of the S.P.G., sermons preached before the S.P.G., etc., which provide much information on the English missionary philosophy of the 18th and early 19th centuries.

Systematic accounts of the mission stations and missionaries in Lower and Upper Canada, 1767-1825, are provided. Special mention is made of such prominent figures as the Rev. John Doty (fl. 1774-1803), Bishop Charles Inglis Stewart (1775-1837) and the Rev. John Stuart (1740-1811). There are also extended accounts of the Society's work among the Indians, especially the Mohawks. A few minor pencilled amendments have been made on the draft in another hand.
