Bibliographic Notes on One Hundred Books Famous in English Literature

Whittier's feeling for appropriateness is shown also in the
following quotation:
"I wish it could come out in season for winter fireside
reading--the very season for it.... I shall dedicate it to my
brother, and shall occupy one page with quotations from Cor.
Agrippa, and from Emerson's 'Snow Storm.'..."
He changed his mind about the dedication, however, for
the book is inscribed "To the memory of the household it
describes."
Among the errors which crept into the poem, one, the phrase
"Pindus-born Araxes," was afterward corrected to "Pindus-born
Arachthus"; and another,
"The wedding _knell_ and dirge of death,"
held its ground from 1866 until 1893.
Whittier's share in the profits of _Snow-Bound_, we are told,
amounted to ten thousand dollars.
