Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

Hawthorne's bright and witty parody upon Bunyan's immortal allegory, The Pilgrim's Progress, first appeared in the Democratic Re view.

The satire was so keen and witty and at the same time so genial in tone, that it was republished by the American Sunday-school Union a few months after its first appearance, under the title A Visit to the Celestial City.

Hawthorne' s name was not attached to it. He was not then widely known as an author. As one of his biographers says of him at this period, He wrote stories and published them in mag azines, but nobody knew who wrote them.
