Item description from seller

8vo, printed wrappers, 29pp. The head of the upper cover is ink inscribed "B. Marston Watson Esq. | with the respects of the Author." Jackson was, of course, the mercurial physician and scientist, well remembered more for the controversies he got himself embroiled in (geology, anaesthesia, telegraphy, gun cotton, digestion) than for more ordinary pursuits. Marston (like Jackson, born in Plymouth MA) was a little less well known, though he was a close friend of Thoreau, briefly resident at Brook Farm, and, later in the 1840's, he crafted his own mini-Utopia in Plymouth in the form of the Old Colony Nurseries, named the place "Hillside," and subsequently entertained many of the Concord Circle there. A good+ copy, with an exceptional presentation association inscription.
