Synopsis

Excerpt from The Life and Times of Sir Leonard Tilley: Being a Political History of New Brunswick, for the Past Seventy Years

This work was commenced some six years ago, for the purpose of relating, in a brief space, the political history of New Brunswick, during the period of Sir Leonard Tilley's life, and telling the story of a New Brunswick public man, who was a member of the first government under the responsible system, and who attained to a greater distinction, both in his own province and in Canada. Than any other statesman whom New Brunswick has yet produced. The story of the battle for responsible government has not before been told in any book that has been published in this province, yet New Brunswick's share in that struggle was a most interesting phase of a contest which was waged in every one of the provinces that formed the original Dominion of Canada. It is the story of the progress of a people from political infancy to a political manhood, and no person who is not informed in regard to it, can have any idea of the real worth of the institutions under which he lives, or of the blessings which he enjoys under a system of government-which tolerates no privileged class, and places all men upon an equal footing.
