Autor Samuel Butler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 dec 2012
Excerpt from A First Year in Canterbury Settlement: With Other Early Essays

With regard to the other pieces included in this volume I have thought it best to prefix brief notes, when necessary, to each in turn explaining the circumstances in which they were written and, when it was possible, giving the date of composition.
