Book Description

Excerpt from A New England Boyhood A charming writer, Miss Lucy Larcom, published a few years ago a charming book called "A New England Girlhood." She described in it her own early life, first in Beverly, opposite Salem on the seashore of Massachusetts, with its gardens and beaches and fishing boats; then in Lowell in its infant days, with its river and waterfalls and Arcadian cotton factories. Mr. Horace Scudder, editor of the Atlantic Monthly, was as much attracted by this pleasant book as the rest of us.
