New York: Dick and Fitzgerald, [c.1870s-1900s]. Hardcover. An undated, revised edition of Thomas Chandler Haliburton's humorous 1843 novel.

With his wry wit and Yankee voice, Sam Slick of Slicksville put forward his views on "human nature" in a regular column in the Novascotian, beginning in 1835. The twenty-one sketches were published in a collection titled The Clockmaker, or the Sayings and Doings of Samuel Slick of Slicksville. The book was Canada's first international bestseller and was hugely popular, not only in Nova Scotia but also in Britain and the United States. Thomas Chandler Haliburton, 1796 – 1865, was one of the first major Canadian authors. He attended University of King's College in Windsor and became a lawyer, opening a practice in Annapolis Royal.

He rose to worldwide fame with his Clockmaker serial that first appeared in the Novascotian. From 1826 to 1829, Haliburton represented Annapolis County in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. Haliburton retired from law and moved to England in 1856. In 1859, Haliburton was elected the Member of Parliament for Launceston, Cornwall.
