Excerpt from Storied Halifax

Of course, if history is a sealed book to you, and if you have no imagination, you may visit Westminster Abbey, the Forum, the Acropolis, the Holy City itself, and remain unmoved. So, as a hasty tourist, you may dash through Halifax, and put yourself on record as having seen only a certain number of build ings much in need of paint and the scrubbing brush. In fact, more than one sapient traveller has done so; but Halifax is like 'wordsworth's poet; you must love her, ere to you she will seem worthy of your love. Perhaps the nu wavering devotion oi half a life-time may be considered as giving the present writer some title to discourse upon those attractions of our old gray city by the sea, which must ever remain hidden from the casual eye.
