The Tribune of Nova Scotia: A Chronicle of Joseph Howe
Grant, W. L. (William Lawson)
Howe, Joseph, 1804-1873
{157} He sleeps in Camphill Cemetery, not far from the pines and salt
sea water of his boyhood, a column of Nova Scotian granite marking his
resting-place; and his memory abides in the hearts of thousands of his
countrymen.

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Besides the two noble volumes, _Speeches and Public Letters of Joseph
Howe_, edited by Joseph Andrew Chisholm, K. C. (Halifax, 1909), the
reader should consult the biography of Howe by Mr Justice Longley in
the 'Makers of Canada' series, and the account of Nova Scotian history
by Professor Archibald MacMechan in _Canada and its Provinces_, vol.
xiii. See also _Recollections of Sixty Years in Canada_ by Sir Charles
Tupper (London, 1914); and, in this Series, _The Winning of Popular
Government_ and _The Railway Builders_. For an intimate study of life
in Nova Scotia there are no books equal to the works of Thomas Chandler
Haliburton.
