| Notes | The Montreal-based firm of Armour and Ramsay was formed in May 1835 by Andrew Harvie Armour (1809'1859), son of Robert Armour, publisher of the "Montreal Gazette, " and his brother-in-law, bookseller and publisher Hew Ramsay. During the 1840s, Armour and Ramsay were the leading booksellers in Canada. In addition to their branches in Kingston and Hamilton, their business extended into the United States. The firm was appointed the Queen's printers to the Special Council from 1838 to 1840, and acquired Robert Armour's interest in the "Montreal Gazette" in May 1836, publishing it until August of 1843. The partnership dissolved in 1850.
