House of Seven Cables" There has

as to which house I'm Salem was pic

II has become somewhat OF an ne

purchased by Miss Emerton of Salem,
and during the work OF restoration
there were found two more gables than

seven gables.
Some years ago IL was stated that
IL, claimed that he had no particular
house I'm mind when writing the story,
but made n composite picture OF sew
eral.
Hawthorne went back to Concord,
going ON with his literary work, and
publishing "TangIewoOd Tnles"y also n
Life OF Franklin Pierce, during this
period the author lived mt "Wayside.'
The writings OF Hawthorne show n
subtle imagination and n curious power
of analysis. Beside great mental traits,
he possessed the literary quality of
style--a grace and charm, a perfection
OF language which no other American
writer possessed I'm the same degree;
and which places Hawthorne among
the great masters of English prose.
