Second series is the third edition. Third series is the first edition. Sam Slick was a character created by Thomas Chandler Haliburton, a Canadian judge and author. With his wry wit and Yankee voice, Sam Slick of Slicksville put forward his views on "human nature" in a regular column in the Novascotian, beginning in 1835. The twenty-one sketches were published in a collection titled The Clockmaker, or the Sayings and Doings of Samuel Slick of Slicksville. The book was Canada's first international bestseller and was hugely popular, not only in Nova Scotia but also in Britain and the United States. Thomas Chandler Haliburton, 1796 1865, was one of the first major Canadian authors. He attended University of King's College in Windsor and became a lawyer, opening a practice in Annapolis Royal. Haliburton became noted local business man and a judge, but his great fame came from his writing. He wrote a diverse number of books on history, politics, and farm improvement. He rose to worldwide fame with his Clockmaker serial that first appeared in the Novascotian. From 1826 to 1829, Haliburton represented Annapolis County in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. Haliburton retired from law and moved to England in 1856. In 1859, Haliburton was elected the Member of Parliament for Launceston, Cornwall. Haliburton received an honorary degree from Oxford for service to literature and continued writing until his death. In cloth binding.
