Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
"Celia Laighton Thaxter (1835-1894) was born in Portsmouth, NH.
When she was four, her father became the lighthouse keeper on White
Island in the Isles of Shoals. After resigning his post eight years
later, he built a resort hotel on Appledore Island in Maine. The
first of its kind on the New England coast, the hotel became a
gathering place for writers and artists during the latter half of
the 19th century. In her last year of life, Celia published this
work, in which she lovingly describes her Appledore garden and its
flowers. The flowers she grew in her cutting garden filled her own
rooms and those of the hotel, and this work became famous for its
descriptions of the old-fashioned flowers she grew there. Her
island garden, a plot that measured 15 feet square, has been
re-created and is open to visitors."
