William Nelson: A Memoir is a book written by Daniel Wilson in 1889. The book is a biography of William Nelson, who was a prominent figure in the Canadian Church and politics during the 19th century. The book covers Nelson's life from his birth in Scotland in 1817 to his death in Toronto in 1887. The book details Nelson's early life and education in Scotland, his immigration to Canada in 1837, and his involvement in the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Nelson was a key figure in the establishment of Knox College in Toronto, and the book covers his role in the founding and development of the college. In addition to his work in the Church, Nelson was also involved in politics. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada, and later as a member of the Senate of Canada. The book covers Nelson's political career, including his views on Confederation and his role in the creation of the Canadian Pacific Railway.Overall, William Nelson: A Memoir provides a comprehensive look at the life and accomplishments of a significant figure in Canadian history.
