NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.
“Nathaniel Hawthorne, deserving a place second to none in that band of humorists
whose beautiful depth of cheerful feeling is the very poetry of mirth. In ease, grace,
delicate sharpness of satire, — in a felicity of touch which often surpasses the felicity
of Addison, in a subtlety of insight which often reaches further than the insight of
Steele, — the humor of Hawthorne presents traits so fine as to be almost too excellent for
popularity, as, to every one who has attempted their criticism, they are too refined for
statement.”
— E. P. Whipple.

“The issue of a complete edition of the writings of Hawthorne affords a rare opportunity
to add one more to the lasting treasures of the ordinary library, those choice
books which everybody will sooner or later have who has good books at all. Not only
have these volumes a popular interest, but every year sees them becoming more and
more the favorites of sound criticism, and it may be pretty safely said that of all
American authors who have yet made a name, none is more likely than Hawthorne
to rise steadily higher as criticism becomes more appreciative and more exact, and at
last to stand apart, as do Shakespeare, Goethe, Dante, and the few primates of the
world of `letters.”'
