    - "Reveries of a Bachelor" (or: "A Book of the Heart") by Ik Marvel
    - This edition published in 1893 by Home Book Company, New York
    - Hardcover (embossed red with gold print and filigree) / 264 pages
    ** Written by American author Donald Grant Mitchell under the pseudonym Ik Marvel, and first published in 1850, the author theorizes on boyhood, country life style, marriage, travel, and dreaming. A reverie is an irregular train of thought or abstract musing, and Mitchell writes on four different themes:
    Smoke, Flame, and Ashes / Sea Cole and Anthracite
    A Cigar Three Times Lighted / Morning, Noon and Evening
    The first two reveries were originally published in 1849 in the magazine Southern Literary Messenger and in 1850 the four essays were published in book format to great public acclaim. It was one of poet Emily Dickinson's favorite books.
