Chapter II

=AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A NEW ENGLAND FARM HOUSE=:
A Romance of the Cape Cod Lands. By N. H. CHAMBERLAIN. 380 pages.

_A novel of singular power and beauty, great originality and rugged
force._ Born and bred on Cape Cod, the author, at the winter firesides
of country people, very conservative of ancient English customs now
gone, heard curious talk of kings, Puritan ministers, the war and
precedent struggle of our Revolution, and touched a race of men and
women now passed away. He also heard, chiefly from ancient women, the
traditions of ghosts, witches and Indians, as they are preserved, and
to a degree believed, by honest Christian folk, in the very teeth of
modern progress. These things are embodied in this book.

A new edition of one of the most fascinating of salt-water yarns, full
of genial humor, vivid word-painting, accurate information, and
practical “wrinkles.” A classic by reason of the esteem in which it is
held by yachtsmen, and as a literary production equal to anything of
the kind in the Anglo-Saxon tongue.

Mr. Murray has chosen the north-western side of the continent for
the scene of this book; a region of country which is little known by
the average reader, but which in its scenery, its game, and its vast
material and undeveloped resources, supplies the author with a
subject which has not been trenched upon even by the magazines, and
which he has treated in that lively and spirited manner for which he
is especially gifted. The result is a volume full of novel
information of the country, humorous and pathetic incidents, vivid
descriptions of its magnificent scenery, shrewd forecasts of its
future wealth and greatness when developed, illustrated and
embellished with such lavishness and artistic elegance as has never
before been attempted in any similar work in this country.

translation as pure and lively as if it were an original, and an
original by a classic English writer.”

rare book.
