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.
