The Succession of Forest Trees, Wild Apples, Sounds, by Henry D. Thoreau. With a biographical sketch by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Houghton, Mifflin, and Company, 1863, 1887, 103 pp. A nifty paperback that includes two of Thoreau's essays, along with the "Sounds" chapter from Walden. Not in terrific shape. Heavy wear to the cover, which has separated from the stapled book block. Some pencilings inside. A few tears and missing bits from outer pages. Still, a unique find.
