Nathaniel Hawthorne publishes "House of Seven Gables"
Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"Nathaniel Hawthorne (...) was an American novelist, dark romantic, and short story writer. . . . His four major romances were written between 1850 and 1860: The Scarlet Letter (1850), The House of the Seven Gables (1851), The Blithedale Romance (1852) and The Marble Faun (1860)." [Wikipedia] "Is it a fact—or have I dreamt it—that by means of electricity, the world of matter has become a great nerve, vibrating thousands of miles in a breathless point of time? Rather, the round globe is a vast head, a brain, instinct with intelligence: or shall we say it is itself a thought, nothing but thought, and no longer the substance which we dreamed it." [Nathaniel Hawthorne, The House of the Seven Gables (1851)]
