Haliburton, Thomas Chandler (sh) and intestinal trunks (medicine)


Haliburton, Thomas Chandler (sh)




born Dec. 17, 1796, Windsor, Nova Scotia
died Aug. 27, 1865, Isleworth, Middlesex, Eng.

Canadian writer.

He served in the legislature of his native Nova Scotia and later served as a judge of the Supreme Court (1841-54), where he maintained the strong conservatism that informs his writings. He moved to England in 1856 and was a member of Parliament from 1859 until his death. He is best known for creating the character Sam Slick, a Yankee clock peddler and cracker-barrel philosopher whose escapades first appeared in the newspaper Nova Scotian and were later published in The Clockmaker (1836, 1838, 1840) and Other volumes.
