<head>EDITOR'S NOTE</head>
<p>NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE was already a man of forty-six, and a tale
writer of some twenty-four years' standing, when &odq;The Scarlet
Letter&cdq; appeared. He was born at Salem, Mass., on July 4th, 1804,
son of a sea-captain. He led there a shy and rather sombre life;
of few artistic encouragements, yet not wholly uncongenial, his
moody, intensely meditative temperament being considered. Its
colours and shadows are marvelously reflected in his &odq;Twice-Told
Tales&cdq; and other short stories, the product of his first literary
period. Even . . .
