The twenty-one sketches were published in a collection titled The Clockmaker, or the Sayings and Doings of Samuel Slick of Slicksville.

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.
