more attention given to proportion and correlation. 

 Thoreau himself says, "I do not know but thoughts 

 written down thus in a journal might be printed in 

 the same form with greater advantage than if the 

 related ones were brought together into separate 

 essays." 



With respect to the photographs, it may be said 

 that they were taken by the author with the sole 

 purpose of securing, in every case, as close a corre- 

 spondence as possible with Thoreau's description. 

 Artistic considerations were wholly secondary. 



Boston, April, 1917.
