Political Notes and Observations, or a Glance at the Leading Measures That Have Been Introduced and Discussed in the House of Assembly of New Brunswick, Vol. 1

Excerpt from Political Notes and Observations, or a Glance at the Leading Measures That Have Been Introduced and Discussed in the House of Assembly of New Brunswick, Vol. 1: Under the Administrations of Sir William M. G. Colebrooke, Sir Edmund Walker Head, Hon. J. H. T. Manners-Sutton, and Hon. Arthur H. Gordon, Extending Over a Period of Twenty Five Years; Together With an Appendix to Each Chapter

With thehest intentions, then, the writer approaches his sub ject - to reproduce in a compendious form, the sayings and doings of honorable gentlemen who formerly figured m debate, many of whose names have long since been forgotten. No new ground will be opened up. Every thing calculated to excite controversy, will be strictly eschewed. Nothing but recorded facts will be taken in hand. That is to say, no visionary speculations will be indulged in. \vhenevcr occa sion requires an expression of opinion, it will be done with due deference to what may be the supposed o iinions of others.

More may be expected from this work 1by Politicians of a former day, than it is calculated to supply. If it were intended as a mere Parliamentary Record, it would be requi site that all the speeches of members should be reproduced. The intention and scepe of the work, will not admit of this. The object is to convey information to the Political Student or rather to direct his attention to where he may find a dis cussion upon any subject in which he may feel interested, more elaborately given. It is to convey within as brief com pass as possible, the leading points - a consecutive narrative, - of all the principal measures that have been introduced into the House of Assembly from a articular period. It is, therefore, possible that°many spece res, (although informa tion will be garnered from all in the compilation,) will not be named at all; and quotations made only from such as will subserve the purpose of this work.
