Description: Whittier-Land: A Handbook of North Essex. By Samuel Pickard. Illustrated with Map and drawings. 160 pages plus book catalog. Middle age and circumstances often leads people to foolish endeavors. John, a well-to-do widower, contemplates remarrying but soon sees that the only eligible mates were both old and ugly spinsters or young and empty-headed girls. This puts his future plans on hold and he busied himself with philanthropic endeavors. When he takes a young orphaned woman under his wing, thoughts of love and tenderness again invade his thoughts. This book covers a common but seldom mentioned fact of life. Many people feel alone, unhappy and uncertain of life. In an attempt to re-start a life half lived, the quest for a new partner is often undertaken. This is a short but gripping story of loneliness, love and wisdom. I would gladly recommend it to all readers that like emotionally loaded prose. Roswell Martin Field was a prominent lawyer in St. Louis, most famous for having represented Dred Scott, the slave who sued for his freedom. Published 1902 by William S Lord, Evanston. Book is very good condition. Bright cover, firm binding, strong hinges, clean text.
