"A New Book by Henry Thoreau"
Norfolk Democrat [Dedham, Mass.] (4 August 1854): p. 2, col. 4.

Ticknor & Fields will issue in a few days a book by the eccentric Thoreau, of Concord, entitled, "Walden, of Life in the Woods."  It is a record of Mr. Thoreau's life and experience during a residence of two or three years in a house of his own building, on the shore of Walden Pond, in Concord.  From several extracts which we have seen in the Commonwealth, Tribune, N. Y. Evening Post, and other papers, we conclude that it will be one of the most attractive books of the year.
