"New
Books"
Louisville
Daily Courier (4 October 1854): p. 2, col. 2.
The
author of this was engaged in Emerson's Dial, a periodical devoted to
transcendentalism. The work
before us shows decided evidences that the author has not forgotten his
early love. There are numerous sentences in the work, from which we have
not been able to draw any satisfactory meaning.
But there are also a multitude of charming pictures of natural
scenery, which will repay the reader for searching after them.
The book is beautifully printed in a
style which does credit to the typographical taste and skill of Ticknor
& Fields.
