First Visit to New England is a travelogue written by William Dean Howells that chronicles his first trip to the region. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of his journey. Howells describes the landscape, the people he meets, and the various towns and cities he visits. He also provides commentary on the history and culture of New England, as well as his own impressions and experiences. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, and is a must-read for anyone interested in travel writing, American history, or the culture of New England.That was the heyday of lecturing, and now and then a literary light from the East swam into our skies. I heard and saw Emerson, and I once met Bayard Taylor socially, at the hospitable house where he was a guest after his lecture. Heaven knows how I got through the evening. I do not think I opened my mouth to address him a word; it was as much as I could do to sit and look at him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
