Summary "Wilmot and Tilley" by James Hannay is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the lives and contributions of Lemuel Allan Wilmot and Leonard Tilley, two prominent figures in the realm of political reform in New Brunswick, Canada. The narrative is centered around their efforts in advocating for responsible government and the significant changes these efforts brought about in the province's governance system. The opening of "Wilmot and Tilley" provides a detailed introduction to Lemuel Allan Wilmot, outlining his ancestry, early life, and influences that shaped his political ambitions. It highlights the political landscape of New Brunswick during Wilmot’s rise to prominence, emphasizing the lack of responsible government and the systemic issues facing the province. Wilmot’s early engagement with reform movements is presented against the backdrop of a society where political appointments favored a privileged few, revealing both the challenges he faced and the fervor of his commitment to change. The narrative sets the stage for Wilmot's evolving role in legislative endeavors aimed at reshaping governance in New Brunswick, which promises to be a central theme throughout the book.
