_Thoreau: His Life and Aims._
A Study. By H. A. PAGE, Author of “The Life of Thomas De Quincey,” &c.
“_Mr. Page has done a good deed in making the ‘Poet Naturalist’ known to English readers. Thoreau’s story is one of the most attractive stories of our time, and we have to thank Mr. Page for reproducing it for us. The ‘New England Hermit’ ought, one would think, to be almost as great a favourite with English boys of this generation as ‘Robinson Crusoe.’ Mr. Page’s study has, besides other merits, that of brevity, so rare in these days; and we rose from the book with a strong desire for more, a feeling that we had only had half a meal._”--SPECTATOR.
