Excerpt from The Old Manse Hawthorne's talent for descriptive writing was never exercised upon a happier theme than the Old Manse at Concord, Massachusetts. Built in 1765 by Emerson's grandfather, William, the patriot chaplain who perished early in the Revolution, the parsonage passed after his death into the hands of Dr. Ezra Ripley, who married William Emerson's widow and succeeded him in the pastorate. It is still in the possession of the Ripley family. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
