註釋

Opposed to the movement which led to the passage of Britain's Great Reform Bill of 1832 and apprehensive over the beginning of a more militant phase of the struggle between the Reformers and the Tories of Upper Canada, Colonel Thomas Talbot viewed the Reform agitation within Middlesex County during the early months of 1832 as clearly seditious. "Urged on by Mahlon Burwell, he now decided to forsake his long-standing policy of avoiding politics, and take his place as the leader of those who were opposed to Reform." The result was Talbot's above proclamation of March 19 and the great St. George's Day, 1832 meeting, held before the King's Arms Hotel in St. Thomas and opened by the Father of the Talbot Settlement himself.
