Excerpt from Sam SlickAs it is just one hundred years since the appearance of A General Description of N ova Scotia, the first book ascribed to Thomas Chandler Haliburton, this seems a fitting time for a collection of his satires and sketches. This volume, which is the most comprehensive avail able, and which illustrates every aspect of his genius, contains his best and most characteristic work. The definitive form in which it is cast is due largely to the cooperation of the libraries mentioned in the bibliography. To their heads I am greatly indebted. Of others who have assisted me, Miss Harriet R. Peck, Librarian of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, who has been tireless in her aid, 'and Professor Homer H. Nugent, of the Department of English, who has verified the text, have been especially helpful.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
