Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Passages From the American Note-Books of Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Editor has transcribed the manuscripts just as they were left, without making any new arrangement or altering any sequence, merely omitting some passages, and being especially careful to preserve whatever could throw any light upon his character. To persons on a quest for characteristics, however, each of his books reveals a great many, and it is believed that with the aid of the Notes (both American and Eng lish) the Tales and Romances Will make out a very complete and true picture of his individu ality; and the Notes are often an open sesame to the artistic works.
