The Hawthorn A Christmas And New Years Present Mdcccxlv PDF Download

Excerpt from The Hawthorn: A Christmas and New Year's Present WE call our little book the hawthorn. We chose the name of a blossom for our young readers, in prefer ence to that of a gem, because the cold glittering beauty of the latter has little in common with the afi'ectionateness, and beaming freshness of the young, to whom the nature of flowers seems more analogous.
