King's College View - 1829
by Thomas Chandler Haliburton
View from Clifton looking toward "Chester Road" and the South Mountain
(We include the following account of King's College's "View", written by Haliburton, here in the "Clifton" section because Haliburton so loved the situation of his Alma Mater that he purchased the land adjoining it in 1833 on which he built his home, Clifton Grove.)
... The situation of the College
is extremely pleasant, and the most eligible that could be selected. It is about
one mile from the town of Windsor, which is the most central point in the Province.
The climate is peculiarly healthy; and it is remarkable that there never has occurred
an instance of mortality among the Students since the first establishment of the
institution. The buildings are erected upon an elevated spot, commanding in front
a delightful view of the most improved and best cultivated parts of Nova-Scotia..
In the rear the scenery is equally fine, the landscape being much embellished
by the meanderings of the Avon and St. Croix...
