Adam was born in Scotland where he developed a deep interest in publishing. He moved to Toronto to run a bookstore. He shortly teamed with a partner to form Rollo & Adam, which ventured into publishing. Their first significant publication was entitled British American Magazine. It was edited by Henry Youle Hind, a geologist and writer about the Canadian northwest. The publication, although short-lived, was the first of a long series of important Canadian periodicals published by Adam. Charles Pelham Mulvany (1835-1885) was a Canadian writer and historian. Born in Dublin, he emigrated to Canada in 1859. He spent some time in the militia and also tried his hand at religion having been ordained in 1868. His religious experience was undistinguished and he left the profession in 1878 to take up a career as a writer. He lived in Toronto and soon began to become a prolific writer providing articles for newspapers and magazines. He found he had a penchant for history and published books on local history about the Counties of Brant and Peterborough. He also collaborated on a two-volume work on the history of Toronto and York. , Size : Quarto, Volume : Two volumes., Ex-Libris of J. T. Cunningham on the verso of the upper board.
