Uncommon. Thomas Chandler Haliburton (1796 - 1865) was a Nova Scotian politician, judge, and author who was the first international best-selling fiction author from what is now Canada, and who served as a Conservative Member of Parliament in England. With his wry wit and Yankee voice, "Sam Slick of Slicksville" put forward his views on "human nature" , and were originally published in a regular column in 'The Novascotian'. The first Sam Slick book, entitled 'The Clockmaker: the Sayings and Doings of Samuel Slick of Slicksville" was published in 1836. It was Canada's first international bestseller and was hugely popular not only in Nova Scotia, but also in Britain and the United States. Slick's wise-cracking commentary on the colonial life of Nova Scotia and relations with the U.S. and Britain struck a note with readers, which led to a second series of stories in 1838 and a third in 1840. The satirical sketches, mocking both Canadians and Americans, made Haliburton one of the most popular writers of comic fiction in English of that era. THE ATTACHÉ is the first Sam Slick novel. Sam Slick's sayings are likely familiar, even if you have never read Haliburton's work. The stories popularized many phrases which are still in use today, such as: Quick as a wink Facts are stranger than fiction A place for everything, and everything in its place It's raining cats and dogs. Six of one, half a dozen of the other Bark up the wrong tree Won't take no for an answer An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure You can't get blood from a stone This country is going to the dogs The early bird gets the worm Never look a gift horse in the mouth A miss is as good as a mile Mad as a hatter.

The Chapter "An Evening in Cork" talks about the narrator to "accompany my old college friend Cary to Monkstown in Ireland.unlike my gruff and inhospitable countrymen, I advise you, when at Cork, to remain there, till you have 'done' the city and its environs and then to sail down the River.".

He made an important political contribution to the state of Nova Scotia before its entry into Confederation of Canada. He was the first international best-selling author of fiction from what is now Canada. In 1856, he emigrated to England, where he served as a Conservative Member of Parliament. He was the father of the British civil servant Lord Haliburton and of the anthropologist Robert Grant Haliburton. On 17 December 1796, Thomas Chandler Haliburton was born in Windsor, Nova Scotia, to William Hersey Otis Haliburton, a lawyer, judge and political figure, and Lucy Chandler Grant. His mother died when he was a small child. When Thomas was seven, his father married Susanna Davis, the daughter of Michael Francklin, who had been Nova Scotia's Lieutenant Governor. He attended University of King's College in Windsor. Later he became a lawyer and opened a practice in Annapolis Royal, the former capital of the colony. Haliburton attained distinction as a local businessman and as a judge, but his greatest fame came from his published writings. He wrote a number of books on history, politics, and farm improvement. He first rose to international fame with his Clockmaker serial, which first appeared in the Novascotian and was later published as a book throughout the British Empire, as popular light reading. The work recounted the humorous adventures of the main character, Sam Slick. In 1816, Haliburton married Lousia Nevill, daughter of Captain Laurence Neville, of the Eighth Light Dragoons. Between 1826 and 1829, Haliburton represented Annapolis County in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. Haliburton was eager to promote immigration to the colonies of British North America. One of his first written works was an emigrant's guide to Nova Scotia published in 1823, A General Description of Nova Scotia; Illustrated by a New and Correct Map. The community of Haliburton, Nova Scotia was named after him. In Ontario, Haliburton County is named after Haliburton in recognition of his work as the first chair of the Canadian Land and Emigration Company. In 1884, faculty and students at his alma mater founded a literary society in honour of the College's most celebrated man of letters. The Haliburton Society, still active at the University of King's College, Halifax, is the longest-standing collegial literary society throughout the Commonwealth of Nations and North America. The mention "hurly on the long pond on the ice", which appears in the second volume of The Attaché, or Sam Slick in England, a work of fiction published in 1844, has been interpreted by some as a reference to an ice-hockey-like game he may have played during his years at King's College. It is the basis of Windsor's disputed claim to being the town that fathered hockey. In 1902, a memorial to Haliburton and his first wife was erected in Christ Church, Windsor, Nova Scotia, by four of their children: Laura Cunard, Lord Haliburton, and two surviving sisters. Nova Scotian artist William Valentine painted Haliburton's portrait. His former home in Windsor is preserved as a museum. (Wikipedia) Sprache: english.
