Synopsis
Excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne
Milton, Pope, and Thomson, Tke Castle of being an especial favorite. In the autumn of 1818 his mother removed to Ray mond, a' town in Cumberland county, Maine, where his uncle, Richard Manning, had built a large and ambitious dwelling. Here the lad re sumed his solitary walks, exchanging the nar row streets of Salem for the boundless, primeval wilderness, and its sluggish harbor for the fresh, bright waters of Sebago Lake. He roamed the woods by day, with his gun and rod, and in the moonlight nights of winter skated upon the lake alone till midnight When he found himself away from home, and wearied with his exercise, he took refuge in a log cabin, where half a tree would be burning upon the hearth. He had by this time acquired a taste for writing, that showed itself in a little blank-book, in which he jotted down his woodland adventures and feelings, and which was remarkable for mi nute Observation and nice perception of nature.
