Thomas Chandler Haliburton, Sam Slick: A Study In Provincial Toryism by V. L. O. Chittick is a book that delves into the life and work of Thomas Chandler Haliburton, a Canadian author and politician who is best known for creating the character of Sam Slick. The book explores the political and social context in which Haliburton wrote and the ways in which his work reflects the values and beliefs of his time. Chittick examines Haliburton's portrayal of Sam Slick, a scheming Yankee peddler who travels around Nova Scotia, and argues that the character embodies a particular brand of Toryism that was prevalent in the province during the mid-19th century. The book also analyzes Haliburton's other works, including his history of Nova Scotia and his political speeches, to provide a comprehensive picture of his views and his impact on Canadian literature and politics. Overall, Thomas Chandler Haliburton, Sam Slick: A Study In Provincial Toryism is a thorough and insightful exploration of an important figure in Canadian history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
