Excerpt from Selections From Sam Slick (Judge Haliburton)It is astonishing that a little colony of less than one hundred thousand people, scattered along a strip of land between the sea and the forest, should have developed side by side two men of such outstanding genius as Joseph Howe and Thomas Chandler Haliburton. To Joseph Howe we owe the discovery of the new humourist who was to rival Dickens. In 1835.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Judge Haliburton's Yankee Stories With IllustrationsI, that there is a court sitting at this time at Cumberland. 7 Nor am I, said my friend. -what then coaid he have to do with the circuit. 7 It occiirred to me he must be a Methodist preacher. I looked again, but his appearance again puzzled me. His attire might do-the colour might be suitable - the broad brim not o1it of place but there was a want of that staidness of look, that seriousness of countenance, that expression, in short, so cha racteristic of the clergy. I could not account for my idle curiosity - a curiosity which, in him, I had the moment before viewed both with sus picion and disgiist; but so it was - I felt a desire to know who he could be, who was neither lawyer nor preacher, and yet talked of his circuit with the gravity of both. How ridiculous, I thought to myself, is this; I will leave him. Turning toward him, I said, I feared I should be late for breakfast, and must therefore bid him good morning. Mohawk felt the pressure of my knees, and away we went at a slapping pace. I con gratulated m'ys'elf on conquering my own curiosity, and on avoiding that of my travelling compamon. This, I_ said to myself, is the value of a good horse; I patted his neck - I felt proud of him. Presently I heard the steps of the unknown' 3 horse - the clatter increased. Ah, my friend, thoughtl, it won 't' do you should be well mounted if you desire my company I pushed Mohawk faster, faster, faster - to his best. He out did himself, he had never trotted so handsomely - Se easily - so well.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Old Judge, Vol. 2 of 2: Or, Life in a ColonyAnd a very sublime, beautiful, and poetical belief it is, too, Miss Lucy, said the little man in black, whom Richardson denominated Broadcloth, but whose real name I found was Layton; I sympathize with you in that rational, sensible, and agreeable theory. The very idea of holding communion with ethereal spirits, has something elevating and ennobling in it. I believe in them, and should like to see them about me and my couch. We read that, in the olden time, angels visited the earth, and conversed freely with mortals.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
