The Rhyme and Reason of Country Life: or, selections from fields old and new. By the author of “Rural Hours,” etc
An anthology of poems and prose about rural life, compiled by Susan Fenimore Cooper, author of "Rural Hours," and published in 1856 for American household readers. Wood engravings show wooded river valleys, grazing cattle under spreading trees, a cottage doorway with a spinning wheel, and a boy beside a rocky waterfall, giving designers foliage textures, arched vignette frames, and pastoral staffage.
