Excerpt from The Complete Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Vol. 12 of 12: With Introductory Notes Alice Doane's Appeal, one of the two remaining contributions, was apparently overlooked until the pres ent editor, coming upon its traces, secured a copy of it in The Token for 1835, after a three years' search. Hawthorne's surviving sister, Miss Elizabeth Maria Hawthorne, who died (j auuary l, 1883) after this edition of the Works had made considerable headway, informed the editor that she retained some recollection of the story, and it seems probable, from an allusion in the Opening portion, that the form here preserved embodies a reminiscence of one among those Seven Tales of my Native Land which the author burned in manuscript. The chapter entitled Chie¿y about War Matters was published in the Atlantic Monthly soon after a trip to Washington which Haw thorne made in April, 1862. It now first takes its place among his collected writings. The same thing is to be said of the Life of Franklin Pierce, re10 introductory note.
