"A wise nation preserves its records, gathers up its muniments, decorates the tombs' of its illustrious dead, repairs its great structures, and fosters national pride and love of country, by perpetual re- ferences to the sacrifices and glories of the past."—Joseph Howe. VOLUME XVII. HALIFAX, N. S. Wm. Macnab & Son, 1913. FI034 Cef. 1 'TAe care which a nation devotes to the preservation of the monuments of its past may serve as a true measure of the degree of civilization to which it has attained.'' {Les Archives Principales de Moscou du Ministere des Affairs Etrangeres Moscow, 1898, p. 3.) 'To discover and rescue from the unsparing hand of time the records which yet remain of the earliest history of Canada. To preserve while in our power, such documents as may he found amid the dust of yet unexplored depositories, and which may prove important to general history, and to the particular history of this province.'" — Quebec Literary and Historical Society. NATIONAL MONUMENTS. (By Henry Van Dyke). Count not the cost of honour to the deadl The tribute that a mighty nation pays To those who loved her well in former days Means more than gratitude glory fled for ; For every noble man that she hath bred, Immortalized by art's immortal praise, Lives in the bronze and marble that we raise, To lead our sons as he our fathers led. -

CENSUS OFFICE, Halifax, December 31, 1861. To The Honorable ADAMS G-. ARCHIBALD,) Members " The Honorable JONATHAN McCULLY, V of the Board of " The Honorable WILLIAM ANNAND; J Statistics. All tlie abstracts being completed, and placed in the hands of the printer, in compliance with the request of the Honorable the Chairman of your Board, I have the honor to present my report of the Census of Nova Scotia for 1861.- Before entering upon the results, I trust it will not be considered out of place to make a few observations, in reference to the machinery by which the information detailed in the various abstracts, has been collected and condensed. After carefully examining the forms used in Great Britain and Canada, it was decided to adopt so much of both, as was applicable to this Province ; and after such further additions as were necessary, a form of schedule was prepared, called the " Householder's Schedule," one of which, in conformity with the English practice, and partially that of Canada, was delivered by the Enumerators to each family, before the day fixed for taking the Census, viz.: the 30th March. In Canada the Census is taken by Townships ; but in many parts of this Province, there being no regularly defined Townships, the only practical mode was to take it by Polling Districts ; and while upon this part of the subject, I would respectfully suggest the propriety, before another Census is taken, of having every County laid off into Townships, or Census Districts, with boundaries properly denned and established. -

Comparative Perspectives on the Legal History of Sedition
HOWE (1835), DIXON (1920) AND MCLACHLAN (1923): COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES ON THE LEGAL HISTORY OF SEDITION Barry Cahill’ “Then there is Howe, who was prosecuted by the corrupt magistrates whom he exposed in his day. By the way, he successfully defended himself, and I hope to perhaps follow his glorious example. He is now proclaimed as Nova Scotia’s noblest son.” — FJ. Dixon, 1920 “When they tried Joseph Howe for sedition, they erected a monument to him in the shadow of the County jail [ric: Province House yard].” — J.B. McLachlan, 1924 “I am not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, but I tell you that what happened to Howe will happen to McLachlan.” — J.S. Woodsworth, 1924 In Halifax, in 1835, Joseph Howe, a newspaper proprietor and editor, was tried for seditious libel for publishing the second of two pseudonymous letters critical of local government. In Winnipeg, in 1920, F J. (Fred) Dixon, an independent labour member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba, was tried for seditious libel for publishing in the strike bulletin which he briefly edited during the General Strike of 1919, articles critical of the strike’s suppression. In Halifax, in 1923, J.B. McLachlan, communist secretary of United Mine Workers of America District 26, was tried for seditious libel for having written an official letter critical of the violent actions of the provincial police in Sydney. These three “state trials” document the important historical conflicts out of which they arose, reflect the politico-legal contexts in which they occurred and illustrate the meaning of the “misrule of law” as it developed through the repressive exercise of state power during both the colonial and the national periods. -

We very much enjoyed our year of celebrations. Open House 2002, the special lecture by David Suzuki, the Symposium on the Future of Marine Science, and the Symphony Nova Scotia concert all contributed to the sense of community that is a strong characteristic of the Institute. The lectures by Dale Buckley (during the opening ceremonies for open house) and by Bosko Loncaravic (the first lecture of our symposium) provided rich memories of research high- lights over four decades. Both talks emphasized the key role of scientific advice to the government of Canada (such as input to the Gulf of Maine boundary dispute decided upon at the World Court in The Hague and the Arrow oil spill in Chedabucto Bay). -
