Long Inscription by Margaret Lothrop at The Wayside, in Concord, Massachusetts which reads "For [John] Lawrence Hannigan [of Harvard University], This book is being inscribed in the room which was the Study of Mr. Amos Bronson Alcott [1799-1888, American Transcendentalist philosopher, educator and reformer, Father of Louisa May Alcott] where this house, called by him "Hillside", was his home.
