A well-preserved copy of this brittle and poorly-made title, a novelette Williams wrote about his wife while traveling and tending to the sick in his capacity as a physician, together with a series of essays on various topics. The project was quite close to his heart, and no one in the U.S. would publish it. WALLACE A12. 88312.
