Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

Under the Trees and Elsewhere [New York1902] Hamilton Wright Mabie Books

"Under the Trees," written by Hamilton Wright Mabie and illustrated by C.L. Hinton was published in 1902 by Dodd, Mead, and Company. Hinton was a nature writer much influenced by Emerson, whose long, pleasant life was spent mostly in an Edenic New Jersey, as a minister, speaker, writer. About Hinton's life, I've been able to discover less, other than his being an esteemed sculptor and painter in an Art Deco, naturalistic style.

The book is a glimpse of a lost world of the late 1800s . Then affluent people could rejoice in a world where man and Nature were in harmony, writing to great acclaim about its sublime beauty. Now and again, mention was made of "struggle" understood in a noble sense----like Hesiod's first kind of strife urging us to excell---not the struggle to survive of the 1890s sweat shops and factories. There is in this Nature no "Et ego in Arcadia" painted on a grave; in this Arcadia is boundless life. Read in a gulp, the text can seem treacle and molasses, infused by untroubled faith in Nature's bounty and divine goodness.

None-the-less, there are passages of lovely observation of seasonal changes, particularly in fields and gentle forests. Each of the twenty essay/chapters ("Earth and sky," "The Earliest Insights,' "Eventide," and so on) has a message: ""It is this method of growth which Nature opposes to our mechanisms; it is inexhaustable life, overflowing with unconciousness and boundless fulness, that she forever reveals."

The glory of "Under the Trees" is less the text, this fossil in amber of a way of thinking, but the artist and the bookbinder. In the 1902 Hinton edition, on every page is an drawing of graceful children, maidens, and youths almost all playing shepherd's pipes or reed flutes, nude or clad in the Grecian style (maidens) or for the lads, a brief animal pelt. These are the visual complement to the spirit of the text, making for a harmony of thought and style. The layout in every page has a column of text surrounded on three sides by a drawing. There are eight full-page illustrations protected by tissue. Any page could be framed although the book in good condition is too lovely to destroy.

It is a glory of the bookbinder's art. My 100 year old copy is on heavy light ivory paper unfoxed, not at all brittle, like the day it was printed. As to color, the illustrations are in light green with deckled pages, gilt top, and lovely pale blue, gilt, and pale green binding with green lettering raised against the gilt scrolls. A copy in good condition is a treasure of its kind. My copy is in excellent condition, a first edition original, a 1903 Christmas gift as mine is a 2012 gift, lacking only the dust jacket.

If you love such books, "Under the Trees" in the 1902 Hinton edition is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
