To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He had written from Newfoundland, on hearing of the conference at Charlottetown : ' I have read the proceedings of the delegates and I am glad to be out of the mess. ' At first he listened in silence to the Halifax discussions on both sides of the question. These were non-partisan, since Archibald and M c Cully, the Liberal leaders, were as much concerned in the result as the Conservative ministers. Howe finally broke silence with the first of his articles in the Halifax Chronicle on ' The Both...eration Scheme. ' This gave the signal for an agita- tion which finally bore Nova Scotia to the verge of rebellion. Howe's course has been censured as the greatest blot upon an other- wise brilliant career. In justice to his memory the whole situation should be examined. He did not start the agitation. Many able and patriotic Nova Scotians urged him on. Favour- able to union as an abstract theory he had been : to Confederation as a policy he had never distinctly pledged himself. The idea that the Quebec terms were sacrosanct, and that hostility to them involved disloyalty to the Empire, must be put aside.
