Since you are to share with me such foot-notes as may be made on the pages of my life during this summer's wanderings I should not be quite silent as to this magnificent prologue to the as yet unknown drama.

I'm afraid I grew rather tired of this. I might have enjoyed it in small doses since much of the writing is worthwhile and graceful, but as a single work read in consecutive pieces, it just grows rather repetitive in subject-matter and randomness. My recommendation would be to read it in chapters

as you might wander through an anthology of stories--I think it might stay fresh and not become exhaustive in that case. Otherwise, for someone who enjoys the other transcendentalists, this is probably worthwhile; for me, it was a bit longwinded. I'd love to follow in her footsteps and visit some of these sights, but that's about all I can say at this point. Just not for me.
