John Beverley Robinson (17911863) was one of Upper Canada's foremost jurists, a dominating influence on the ruling elite, and a leading citizen of nineteenthcentury Toronto who owned a vast tract of land on which Osgoode Hall now stands.The loyalists had founded a colony firm in its devotion to the Crown, with little room for dissent. As a true loyalist son, educated by John Strachan, Robinson attempted to steer Upper Canada toward emulation of what he perceived to be Britain's ideal aristocratic society.As a young ensign in the York militia, he defended his sovereign at Queenston Heights, and as acting attorneygeneral he prosecuted traitors who threatened to undermine the colony. Later, as attorneygeneral and de facto leader of the assembly during the 1820s, he tried to mould the government to the British form. But factors he never understoodthe influence of American democracy and liberalism in the Colonial Officeensured that Upper Canada would never be a 'new Albion.'Robinson
