A graceful essayist, widely published in leading journals of the time,he also wrote more substantial works, the most important of which is his E pitome of the Laws of Nova Scotia (1832-33), a unique work which earned himfame as "Nova Scotia's Blackstone" and which is still a primary source for historians. Murdoch returned to public life in 1841 when he was appointed clerk of the Board of Education where he laboured tirelessly to establish auniform provincial school system. Appointed recorder of Halifax in 1852, h e retired in 1860, after which he published his History of Nova Scotia (1865-67)." - TheCanadianEncyclopedia.com.
