Jefferys Windsor 1839	Haliburton - The Man and the Writer by Francis Blake Crofton ... "The Old Judge, or Life in the Colony". This work depicts various phases of life in Acadie [Nova Scotia] in the earliest part of this century. As in the "Sam Slick" series, the plot is a mere thread on which to string facts, jests and opinions ... the author's design to give outsiders a fair idea of Nova Scotia. The Old Judges opinions, by the way, seem to march pretty closely with Haliburton's own ... Pg 26 A better picture of Nova Scotia life and characteristics, at the time when he wrote at all events, is given by Haliburton than by any other writer.
