Beschreibung

Published by Riverside Press. Assumed 1st edition. Rd and gold cloth hardcover, no dust jacket, 279 pages, many uncut. The contents are in very good unread condition, but the cover is worn with the spine cloth hanging. "The connection between the (author's) first notes and the final form was closest, naturally, in the case of OUR OLD HOME, which was very largely composed by Hawthorne of transcripts from his note-books, so that when his widow printed the ENGLISH NOTE-BOOKS, she found herself compelled to omit many pages because they had already been used by the author when writing the sketches which composed OUR OLD HOME.The photogravures, in almost all cases, are from photographs from the objects themselves, and regard has been had, whenever it was expedient, to the date of Hawthorne's own knowledge of England, so that the pictures might be true copies of the scenes which he described with marvelous fidelity.".
