Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wensley, and Other Stories It is not without some hesitation and misgiving, that the editor ventures to withdraw some of the lighter writings of the late Edmund Quincy from the pages of half-forgotten magazines, and give them again to the public, together with the only novel he ever wrote. In the whirl of the present day, it cannot be expected that many will stop long enough to read stories of so quiet and unexciting a nature; still there may be some to whom very accurate pictures of a way of life long passed away, and tales, all of which have a certain foundation in fact, may not be wholly without interest. The history of the octogenary, Colonel Wyborne, for instance, is in the main facts a true one; and his nocturnal visit to Boston, after an absence of fifty years, was an actual occurrence. Mr. Quincy was always of opinion that his essay on "Old Houses," published in 1837, might have suggested to Hawthorne that great magician´s wonderful "Tales of the Province House," published some time after.
