In two volumes. Illustrated by a map of the province, and several engravings. By Thomas C. Haliburton, Esq. Barrister at Law and Member of the House of Assembly of Nova Scotia"...[Haliburton] labor[ed] for seven years at his history of this province... ...[Haliburton] was practicing law in the picturesque town of Annapolis Royal. Beautiful as it was for situation, it had no libraries, public or private. Nor was there in the whole province any collection of books on which a student of local history could draw... ...Young and untrained as he was, Haliburton had distinctly modern ideas of research. Whenever possible, he went to the original sources for his information. He had also to write to London and Boston for works of reference, or have transcripts made from them... ...[In the year] 1823...in Halifax [,there was] published a pamphlet entitled "A General Description of Nova Scotia"... ...Haliburton himself supplies the reason why it was written, - to clear the province of misrepresentation. A banquet was given in his honor in 1839. When his health was proposed, reference was made to his "History", and what he said in reply applies also to the "General Description [of Nova Scotia, published in 1823] "...the precursor of the Historical and Statistical Account [which was published in 1829. Haliburton was 33].
