The Tribune of Nova Scotia: A Chronicle of Joseph Howe is a historical biography written by William Lawson Grant and published in 1920. The book chronicles the life and career of Joseph Howe, a prominent Canadian politician and journalist who played a key role in the movement for responsible government in Nova Scotia during the 19th century.The book begins with an overview of Howe’s early life and education, including his apprenticeship as a printer and his early work as a journalist. It then traces his political career, including his election to the Nova Scotia legislature in 1836 and his subsequent efforts to reform the colonial government.Throughout the book, Grant provides a detailed account of the political and social context in which Howe lived and worked, including the tensions between the British colonial government and the local population, the struggle for responsible government, and the debates over issues such as education, religion, and immigration.The book also explores Howe’s personal life, including his relationships with his family, his colleagues, and his opponents. Grant portrays Howe as a complex and multifaceted figure, whose political and personal convictions were shaped by his experiences and his vision for a more democratic and just society.Overall, The Tribune of Nova Scotia provides a comprehensive and engaging account of one of Canada’s most important historical figures, and sheds light on the broader social and political developments of the 19th century in Nova Scotia and beyond.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
