Contemporary Notices and Reviews of 
Walden; or, Life in the Woods

"New Publications,"
Albany Argus (15 August 1854): p. 2, col. 7.

The book purports to have been written chiefly while the author resided in the woods, and earned his living by the labor of his hands. It contains a record of a strange experience, in connection with the many bright thoughts on various subjects that were suggested by it.  It is an intensely entertaining production.
