Dedicated to Edmund Hopkinson of Edgeworth Manor, Gloucester- 

 ehire. 



This work is a continuation of " Wise Saws," and closes the record 

 of the sayings and doings of the redoubtable " Sam Slick." 



" Folk say that natur' is one thing, and wisdom another, but it's 

 plaguy odd they look so much alike, and speak the very identical same 

 language, ain't it?" — Sam Slick. 



The Old Jiidge; or, Life in a Colony. By the author of "Sam Slick, the 

 Clockmaker," " The Attaché," &c.

321; vol. IL pp. (3), 315. No illustrations. 



Sabin and Morgan give the first edition as " 1843.'' This is 

 obviously an error, as the original sketches in " Eraser's Magazine " 

 did not appear till 1846.

Some of the sketches first appeared in Eraser's Magazine, vol. 33, 

 1846, pp. 50^-514; vol. 35, 1847, pp. 141-147, 308-321, 429-446, 511 

 (second numbering)— 528, 700-713; vol. 36, pp. 76-87, 204-212, 324- 

 334, 447-461, 576-587, 696-710. They were then revised, their order 

 somewhat transposed, — so as to make them blend harmoniously with the 

 sketches added, — and then, published in book form. The sketches were 

 drawn from life in the province one hundred years ago. The plot is so 

 attenuated that it has been called a mere thread on which to string facts, 

 jests and opinions.
