| | Head had so little political experience that he had never voted in an election; he had displayed no interest whatever in colonial policy; and even his essay on the poor law, though couched in the rhetoric of reform, was based upon the deepest social conservatism. | | | Gibson, The persistent fallacy of the Governors Head, CHR, XIX (1938), 29597. | | | To Head, Bidwell was a disloyal man though he admitted him to be much abler than those raised to judgeships in the province. |

| | Early Canada Historical Narratives -- FRANCIS BOND HEAD, PART 2 |
| | Bond Head is remembered as a peculiar figure who conducted official audiences with his short legs stuck rigidly out in front of him. | | | Head was absolutely certain he could "mercilessly destroy them root and branch,"'them' being the pestilential people who went by the name of reformer or republican or democrat. | | | Emboldened by this mild response from the prime minister Head pressed on with his defence praising his policies and justifying his actions. |

| | Briefly called upon to serve on the Executive Council (Cabinet) in 1836 he resigned after his proposals for reform were repeatedly blocked by the appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the province, Sir Francis Bond Head. | | | During the subsequent election Bond Head campaigned against the reformers, which was in spirit at least contrary to the British Constitution. | | | Bond Head, who had been chosen by London in an attempt to assuage reformers in the colony, only further antagonized them with his refusals to consider any significant measures toward responsible government. |

| | The suggestion that the provinces be run by responsible head of departments is refuted by a description of the status quo in Nova Scotia where the local administration is in the hands of responsible people (some appointed by the Imperial Parliament). | | | The laxity of the Mississippi judge is echoed in the laxity of the young lawyers who come into the court house: young shavers with little learning in their heads. | | | Mr Hallyburton is confessedly one of the wittiest and wisest of judges, and he is a sound hearted and clear headed Conservative, the Tories of this city will no doubt regret that they could not, during his brief stay, render him the honours due to so powerful an advaocate of Conservatism. |
