(Color photocopies made of articles and stored with book (C).) (D) "At Mount Desert: A Summer's Sowing" by Mildred Fairfax, copyright Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society, 1893. “At Mount Desert,” by Mildred Fairfax, is in many respects a peculiarly attractive book. A defect of many stories is that they almost leave out the scenery, but it is not so in this instance. The tale itself is deeply interesting, with its young man gone astray, its good-angel sister, and its fortune lost and plotted for, but the writer is evidently in love with all the scenic effects of sea and sky and land along the rugged Maine coast, and at Mount Desert. There would be almost too much word-painting if it were not for the admirable half-tone photographic views which serve as illustrations. They become part of the narrative, and give it a realism not otherwise attainable.” (See www.ebay.com/itm/1893-At-Mount-Desert-Island-by-Mildred-Fairfax-A-Summers-Sowing-8-Plates-/322180352978).
