Book Description
Excerpt from Prose Writings of Nathaniel Parker Willis Home J ournal. During all these years his pen was never idle, and he put forth volume after volume made up from his articles and correspondence in the columns of these periodi cals. A second and a third trip to Europe, visits to the South and West, to Washington, Cape Cod, Sharon Springs, and elsewhere, letters from Idlewild, his country-seat on the Hudson, studies of city-life, and miscellaneous papers of all kinds, furnished the contents of these books. They were good enough reading at the time, but altogether ephemeral, except now and then a poem or a short sketch which showed something of original inspiration, and rose above the general mediocrity of hack-work. More than half of the titles in this volume, and a great deal more than half of the amount of matter, have been taken from his three early books, Pencillings by the Way, Inklings of Adventure, and Letters from Under a Bridge.

Working with multiple publications, he was earning about $100 per article and between $5,000[ and $10,000 per year.In 1846, he started his own publication, the Home Journal, which was eventually renamed Town & Country. Shortly after, Willis moved to a home on the Hudson River where he lived a semi-retired life until his death in 1867.Willis embedded his own personality into his writing and addressed his readers personally, specifically in his travel writings, so that his reputation was built in part because of his character.
