Стр. 8 - We conceive this work to be by far the most valuable and important Judge Haliburton has ever written. While teeming with Interest moral and historical, to the general reader, it equally constitutes a philosophical study for the politician and statesman.

Стр. 2 - In these volumes, details, then guarded with the most anxious care from all eyes but those of the privileged few, are now for the first time given to the public. The most secret history of many of the transactions is laid bare. It is not possible to conceive contemporary history more completely exemplified. From such materials it was not possible to form a work that would not possess the very highest interest. The Duke of Buckingham has, however, moulded his materials with no ordinary ability and...

" No man has done more than the facetious Judge Haliburton, through the mouth of the Inimitable ' Sam,' to make the old parent country recognize and appreciate her queer transatlantic progeny.
