Thoreau, Henry David. Writings of Henry David Thoreau. (Walden ed.) 20v. ea. $1.75. Houghton.
A monumental undertaking which becomes an atonement to a mighty soul for lack of appreciation during the most of life. The first six volumes include Thoreau’s miscellaneous writings and the remaining fourteen are devoted to his journal which is published for the first time. The edition furnishes “a record of the life-work of one whose observations of the phenomena of nature were most thorough and untiring and whose descriptions are among the best in literature.”
“On the whole this ‘Walden edition’ is every way satisfactory in its different forms for different purchasers and prices.” F. B. Sanborn.
