Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Henry Acton, Vol. 1: And Other Tales
Association gives to all Objects of memory their value; and few lands have ever worn a dearer or lovelier charm than this my native one. Many waters have I been tost over, in storm and repose, but never have I given my sails with such buoyancy to the winds as I was wont to do in my days Of boyhood. Every scene of that boyhood seems but of yesterday; but as they now arise before me, with what different caleu lations do I look upon them! Not that I value them less, but that I rather prize them more. They bore a stamp and character peculiar to themselves.
