Excerpt from Pages From an Old Volume of Life: A Collection of Essays, 1857-1881
These pages are varied in character and may be expected to interest different classes of readers, if they are fortunate enough to interest any.
The first three papers carry the reader back to the time of the war. Bread and the Newspaper may recall to many middle-aged and elderly persons the feelings excited by the early events of the war, when Bread and the Newspaper was the new version of Panem et Circenses.

My Hunt after the Captain carried me to many localities rendered memorable by the events which had recently occurred in them or their immediate neighborhood, among others, to the field of Antietam, where I found myself only three or four days after the great battle. The reader who has the patience to follow me in my hunt after the Captain may be glad to know that he survived all wounds, two of which looked very dangerous, and is now a justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts.
If a writer may claim the privilege of commending any one of his productions to the reader's attention, I venture to ask that favor for the paper called The Seasons.
