	Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
		Haliburton’s grandfather believed that he was descended from the Haliburtons of Newmains and Mertoun on the Scottish border — maternal ancestors of Sir Walter Scott — and although he could not prove it legally, the Nova Scotian Haliburtons nevertheless considered themselves to be gentry because they were of that stock.
		Haliburton’s inherent toryism was given a strong anti-republican bias through the sufferings of his mother’s people, the Grants, during the American War of Independence, and by their tragic death at sea while en route to Saint John, N.B., to settle loyalist claims.
		Haliburton was, at the time of the publication of the latter pamphlet, either too ill to see it through the press properly or so lacking in concern with respect to it that he must never have seriously proof-read it.

		Haliburton was born at Windsor, Nova Scotia of "Blue Blood" (on both sides of his family there were lawyers and soldiers).
		Finding a young bride in England, Louisa Neville, daughter of a Captain in the 19th Light Dragoons, Haliburton brought her back to Windsor; and, there, he settled down; he had two sons and five daughters, but all, I read somewhere, were at the end of the line: there are no descendants of Haliburton.
		(1851) -- Haliburton was one of the first writers of history to employ the romantic method, viz., the Parkmanian method (it is speculated that Francis Parkman read Haliburton.) Haliburton, however, will be best remembered as a writer of humour; and, in particular, his Sam Slick books, of which he wrote a number.

		The document is key to an understanding of Thomas Chandler Haliburton as in it he reinvents himself as an exiled English gentleman, isolated and alone as the head of a stranded clan of Haliburtons, forced by dint of historical circumstances into exile from their kith and kin on the other side of the Atlantic.
		Thomas Chandler played the only card that he had in his hand marked “illustrious ancestry.” It had been passed to him by his grandfather and was passed on in turn to his own children with one major difference.
		Thomas Chandler wrote feelingly about the experience of his grandparents: “What the sensations of those people were, who, separated from their friends and homes, by a thousand leagues of ocean, and first settled in the trackless forests of Nova Scotia, may be more easily conceived than described” (General Description, 163).

		Haliburton was born on December 17, 1796 in Windsor, NS, the son of a judge and grandson of a lawyer.
		Haliburton thought protests against Britain’s mismanagement of the colonies was justified but feared that a campaign for “responsible government” would end in a demand for independence from Britain.
		Haliburton, through Slick, made pithy observations and critiqued Bluenose attitudes with acerbic wit, dispensing homespun homilies in an over-the-top regional dialect.

		In 1829 Haliburton left the Assembly to become a judge in the Nova Scotian Court of Common Pleas.
		Now on regular court circuits around the province, he gained a broad awareness of the life and conditions of popular society and his inborn sense of the ridiculous and his taste for punning certainly appeared in his own court proceedings.
		The author Haliburton would go on further: for example, in The Attaché, or, Sam Slick in England, first produced in two series in 1843 and 1844, Sam was part of an American diplomatic mission to the British imperial government.
