Summary:
An unabridged reprint of the complete original text of The Clockmaker published by Joseph Howe, Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1836. Includes an afterword by Robert L. McDougall. Sam
Slick
of
Slickville
, Connecticut, is a Yankee clock-peddler who accompanies a visiting English gentleman on an unforgettable tour of early nineteenth-century Nova Scotia. His shrewd observations and witty commentaries make up the thirty-three sketches of The Clockmaker. First serialized in 1835 and 1836 and then published together in late 1836 in response to public demand, the sketches of The Clockmaker established Judge Thomas Chandler Haliburton as a satirical humorist of international stature.
