Holland (1819-1881) is the author of Arthur Bonnicastle,
The Story of Sevenoaks and Nicholas Mintum, among
many others. From its founding in 1869 to the end of his life, Holland
partnered with Charles Scribner as the editor of the famous Scribner's
Monthly. The beginning of Holland's career was troubled with business
misadventures, unsuccessfully running his own periodical and medical practice
before finding employment as a teacher. Yet once he gave up his medical practice
and returned to West Massachusetts, his luck changed for him. The 1870's was a
productive decade for Holland, who published his most famous novels during that
time, including The Mistress and the Manse (1874). His last novel,
The Puritan's Guest (1881) was published the year he died. Lightly
toned. Fine condition.
