Tiny book (7.7 cm X 11.7 cm) designed to be carried in a pocket.


This small Canadian history book, in question-and-answer format, was used by students to memorize the important events from Canada’s history. It was probably called a “catechism” because of its similarity to the religious catechism, which was also in question-and-answer format, and was meant to be learned by heart.
