The Dearest Spot On Earth is a novel by Jay T. Stocking, first published in 1908. The story takes place in a small town in New England, where the protagonist, John Walden, inherits his family’s ancestral home. He decides to move there with his wife and children, hoping to find peace and happiness in the idyllic surroundings. However, he soon discovers that the town is not as perfect as it seems, and that the people who live there are not as friendly as he thought. As he struggles to adapt to his new life, John finds himself caught up in a web of secrets and lies, and must confront the dark history of his family and the town. The novel explores themes of family, community, and the search for identity, and is a poignant portrayal of small-town life at the turn of the century. Stocking’s writing is evocative and lyrical, capturing the beauty and complexity of the New England landscape and the human heart. The Dearest Spot On Earth is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

These essays lay little claim to novelty or originality. Much that they contain was uttered half a century ago by that great prophet, Horace Bushnell, who probably did as much as any one in his generation for the emancipation of childhood. Recently Charles Wagner, another prophet, has given expression to the same truths in his delightfully sweet and wholesome book. By the Fireside from some of whose phrases I fear I may not have shaken myself wholly free, they have such a way of sticking. I am glad to think that the essays are in line with what so many of our best teachers are saying with frequency.
