Excerpt from Letters From the Woods: Editorial Correspondence, Random Rhymes, From 20 to 70, Annual Addresses These sketches, the work of moments of leisure from con fining business occupations, and from larger relief during a few days' sojourn in the outer world, where Nature in com parative solitude, sublime and beautiful in its grand adorn ments, invites the admiring and reverent gaze were written only for a timely use, to be buried with it. That they reap pear in this form, can find no more plausible excuse than to fall back upon an old plea, that Age grows garrulous - that the veteran, looking back to the sterner con¿icts of his life as signments, finds delight in fighting his battles over, and peaceful mortals who have survived their usefulness are prone to think, what is of mastering memory to themselves of the past must possess interest to others, and plead at least, in the words of higher authority, that a book is a book although there is nothing in it.
