Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of S. G. W. Archibald The writer of this Memoir had occassion, while repparing a History of the County of Colchester, to make some rather minute investigations into the circumstances connected with the first settlement of Truro - and its progress as it developed from a straggling hamlet in the wilderness, to the thriving and bustling town which it is at this day. In doing so, he was struck with the prominent part taken in its affairs by the members of one family, a family which has been connected with the town from its earliest history. Four generations of this family in lineal descent have been members of the Nova Scotian Assembly. The subject of our memoir, his father, his grandfather, and his eldest son have sat in the Assembly as representatives of the people. We doubt if the same can be said of any other Nova Scotian family. Other sons of the same gentleman, have occupied distinguised positions outside the Province. One, who died in 1876, was, at the time of his death, a Judge in the High Court of Justice in England. Another, who still lives, is Consul General for Great Britain in the United States of America. Of each of these sons we published some account about a year ago. At the time we intended to complete the series by a memoir of their father, which we hoped to be able to prepare shortly afterwards.
