520 _a"Toronto of Old" by Henry Scadding is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the early settlement and social life of Toronto, Ontario, exploring the city's formative years and the memories attached to its original establishments, buildings, and notable events. It is an intricate blend of personal recollections, folklore, and early documentation that aims to bring alive the past of this vibrant city. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Toronto's history, beginning with an introduction that discusses the origins of the city’s name and early French colonial references. Scadding reflects on his own connection to Toronto, hinting at the personal anecdotes and observations that will color his narrative. He outlines the structure and purpose of the work, emphasizing that while it won't serve as a formal history complete with statistics, it will provide detailed recollections of a bygone era, focusing on the evolution of Toronto through its streets and key figures. As he embarks on this historical journey, readers are invited to contemplate the early days of the city and the people who shaped its development, setting a somber yet nostalgic tone for the historical narrative that follows.
