註釋"Since the organization of the Association under whose auspices this work goes forth, (on the evening of January 22, 1853,) its members have sustained a small manuscript paper, entitled the 'Youth's essay,' which has received their compositions and has been read at their weekly meetings, and this volume is composed of selections from its columns."--Preface, p. [v]-x, signed by Z. Pope Vose, Henry F. Perry, Cynthia I. McIntosh, and S. Frances White, and dated at Rockland, June, 1854. A contributor's list matching pseudonyms to actual names appears on p. [xi]. Includes essays, stories, and poems, most of them written by members of the Youth's Educational Union. Some essays concern social issues, including dancing, slavery, temperance, and war. "To Rev. S.C. Fessenden"--dedication, p. [iii]. The Maine register for 1855 lists Rev. Samuel C. Fessenden, a Congregationalist minister living in Rockland, Maine. Last page blank. In blue cloth. "The three spinsters. (Translated from the German of Grimm.)"--p. [23]-26. "Lines on the death of Captain Oliver Brown, who died at Nassau, Sept. 5, 1853." (in verse)--p. [104]-105.
