[Horace Greeley?] "A Massachusetts Hermit"
New-York Daily Tribune (29 July 1854): p. 3, cols. 2-6.

Ticknor & Fields have in press a work by HENRY D. THOREAU entitled "Life in the Woods," describing the experience of the author during a solitary residence of two years in a hut on the shore of Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts.  The volume promises to be one of curious interest, and by the courtesy of the publishers we are permitted to take some extracts in advance of the regular issue.
