The Clergy Reserves were lands set aside ("reserved") to support the Protestant Clergy. That is, revenue from sales of these lands would be given to the Church. The big argument was which Church? Would it just be the Church of England (what we call the Anglican Church now) or would it be shared by other denominations.
The Crown Reserves were lands which the Crown, i.e. the government, held on to rather than granting to settlers.
A Late Loyalist was someone who came to British North America (e.g. Upper Canada or Nova Scotia) after the wave of Loyalist refugees who left the new United States when it became independent. Many of those "late loyalists" were not motivated by political reasons (a desire to be loyal to Britain or live in the British Empire) but simply were looking to get free grants of land.
