"The Hounds in Walden Woods"
Boston Commonwealth (25 July 1854): p. 1, cols. 6-7.

Messrs. Ticknor & Fields will publish in a few days a new volume by Henry D. Thoreau, author of "A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers." It will be entitled, "Walden, or Life in the Woods."  Mr. Thoreau once built him a house, at a cost of something less than thirty dollars, near Walden Pond, in Concord, and lived there many months upon what he could raise, beans or muskrats, in the neighborhood.  In this book he gives an account of his life during the summer in the woods.  The following is an extract in advance of publication: [excerpt from "Winter Animals"]
