[O'BRIEN] HALIBURTON 61 



These sketches appeared first in the Dublin University Magazine, 

 from April, 1859, to March, 1860, as follows: Vol. 53, 1859, pp. 385, 

 558, 717; vol. 54, 1859, pp. 105, 316, 317, 490, 599, 740; vol. 55, 1860, 

 pp. 71, 242, 328. They were then reprinted in book form. 



Dedicated to Cheyne Brady, of Dublin. 



This is the author's last work, and the least kno^sn, — even in Nova 

 Scotia. It appeared anonymously, and is omitted in most lists of his 

 works. It consists of a series of notes and conversations by a season 

 ticket holder on an English railway. This enables him to descant upon 

 the peculiarities of the various classes of the travellers, who become con- 

 versational without reserve by reason, possibly, of their immunity from 

 identification. This gives the author the opportunity of speaking with 

 much more freedom than he would probably have done had he not 

 thought that his own identity was concealed. He is unwavering in his 

 imperialistic vievvs, and also brings again prominently to the fore the ad- 

 vantages and resources, as well as the needs, both of his native province 

 find of Canada. 



Speech of the Hon. Mr. Justice Halihurton, M.P., in the House of Com-

 differential duties on Foreign and Colonial Wood.

The date of the speech, as given on the title page, is wrong ; it should 

 be Friday, April 20th. Further, the speech was on the repeal of the 

 duties on "wood," not, as always printed, "wool."
