Title: Country Living and Country Thinking
Author: Gail Hamilton
Publisher: Ticknor and Fields, Boston
Published: 1863
Binding: Hardcover
Language: English
Edition: 4th edition
Number of Pages: 461
Catalogs: Essays, American Civil War, Massachusetts
Description: Fourth edition. Original purple-brown blind-embossed cloth, in a wave pattern, with very faded gilt lettering and decoration on spine. Corners and spine ends are frayed, and spine cloth is also faded. Lesser wear to the cloth of the boards. Brown glazed pastedowns with ownership information in inl on flyleaf. Page edges are dyed red, and there is a red decorative element on the title page. Small black decorative elements throughout. Pages are tanned but unmarked. Light foxing. While the majority of the essays in this book (many reprinted from The National Era, The Congregationalist, and The Atlantic Monthly), are about the author's thoughts on nature and her country surroundings, there is also a long final essay entitled Our Civil War, written as the American Civil War was occurring. There is also an essay entitled Boston and Home Again. Mary Abigail Dodge (1833-1896), born in Hamilton, Massachusetts, was an American writer and essayist, who wrote under the pseudonym Gail Hamilton. Her writing is noted for its wit and promotion of equality of education and occupation for women. She was an abolitionist. By 1858, she had moved to Washington, D.C. From there, she sent in her publications to anti-slavery newspapers. She disliked attention, however, and chose the pen name Gail Hamilton, combining the last part of her middle name with her place of birth. Among her writings were political commentaries, making her one of the first female political correspondents in Washington. Hardcover, good condition. 461 pages, 12mo.
