Project Gutenberg 2005-04-01 Public domain in the USA. 114 Haliburton, Thomas Chandler 1796 1865 Slick, Sam The Attaché; or, Sam Slick in England — Volume 01 Produced by Gardner Buchanan, and David Widger "The Attaché; or, Sam Slick in England — Volume 01" by Thomas Chandler Haliburton is a satirical novel written in the early 19th century. The story follows the eccentric and humorous exploits of Sam Slick, a quintessential American character who serves as an attaché to the American Legation in England. The narrative presents a critique and exploration of cultural differences, particularly between Americans and the British, as highlighted through Slick’s observations and interactions. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the main characters as they embark on a journey from New York to England. The narrative opens with a letter from the author introducing his attaché, Samuel Slick, who is described as a man of peculiar humor and unorthodox views. Accompanied by the Reverend Mr. Hopewell and a black servant named Jube Japan, the group showcases diverse perspectives on life and society. The first chapter features a humorous anecdote about a shooting game involving a bottle, which leads into Slick's characterization as boastful and proud of his accidental marksman skills. As the story progresses, Haliburton sets the tone for a tale filled with wit, original observations, and societal commentary through the lens of an American navigating the complexities of life in England.
