In 1904, the Grolier Club held an exhibition commemorating Nathanial Hawthorne's birth. It was also the first attempt at putting his work in bibliographical order. Now, this catalogue commemorates his death by showing how successful the first exhibition was in portraying Hawthorne's genius. The book provides an essay on the life and career of Nathanial Hawthorne and includes a fold-out diagram of the plan of Nathanial Hawthorne's estate.
