| Item Description: | Reprinted from The Illustrated London News, September 5th, 1846. "This essay, first written and published in 1846, gives a valuable contemporary picture of the housing of the Dorset peasant as it was at the time of Thomas Hardy's childhood. It was at this period and from this environment that many persons left Dorset of their own free will to settle abroad, especially in America, to reshape their destinies."--Back cover. The Cushing Library/Rare Books copy was acquired as part of the Lois Goddard Morrison Collection of Eighteenth Century Literature. |
