Memoir of Sir Brenton Haliburton, late Chief Justice of the Province of Nova Scotia, By Rev. G. W. Hill, M. A. Halitux: Printed by James Bowes & Son. 1264.

We look upon this volume of 207 pages—which, as regards typography, would be quite ereditable to any press—as a very interesting contribution to our Colonial literature. It deals with the life and actions of a good and great Colonist, who distinguished himself, during the most stirring periods of our Culonial history, asa soldier, states- man and jurist; and in the eyes of those who knew him best, he was most admired for the; many virtues which adorned his character in| social life. i

We shall give in our next No. further extracts, in addition to those which will be found in this sheet, showing the condition of affairs in the South.
