Sinossi
Excerpt from Sir Leonard Tilley
HE political career of Samuel Leonard Tilley did not begin until the year that brought the work of Lemuel Allan Wilmot as a legislator to a close. Both were elected members of the House of Assembly in 1850, but in the following year Wil mot was elevated to the bench, so that the province lost his services as a political reformer just as a new man, who was destined to win as great a reputation as himself, was stepping on the stage. Samuel Leonard Tilley was born at Gagetown, on the St. John River, on May 8th, 1818, just thirty-five years after the landing of his royalist grandfather at St. John. He passed away seventy-eight years later, full of years and honours, having won the highest prizes that it was in the power of his native province to bestow.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the political career of Samuel Leonard Tilley, who played a pivotal role in the pre-Confederation era of New Brunswick. Elected to the House of Assembly in 1850 as a reformer, Tilley quickly became a vocal critic of the government's protectionist policies that favored established industries at the expense of free trade. The author delves into Tilley's passionate advocacy of temperance and his instrumental role in passing the Prohibitory Liquor Law of 1855, an audacious experiment in social reform that ultimately failed but demonstrated his commitment to progressive ideals. The book also explores Tilley's involvement in the movement for maritime union and his efforts to secure reciprocity with the United States. Ultimately, Tilley's insights on the importance of free trade, responsible government, and intercolonial cooperation laid the foundation for New Brunswick's entry into the Canadian Confederation.
