George Fox, Quaker from England George Fox launched the Quaker movement in England in 1646; he sailed to American in 1671. Hawthorne depicts Fox in a favorable light in Grandfather's Chair, "Grimshawe," and "A Virtuoso's Collection." In "The Gentle Boy," however, Hawthorne points to the fanaticism of the Quakers.

The House of the Seven Gables, The Snow Image and Other Twice-Told Tales
"Snow Image," frontispiece illustration by Frederick Church from vol 3, The House of the Seven Gables and The Snow Image and Other Twice-Told Tales In contrast to the somber gravestone images with which Hawthorne would have been familiar, this image by Frederick Church, which served as the frontispiece illustration from volume 3 of the 1883 Riverside Press edition of The House of the Seven Gables and The Snow Image and Other Twice-Told Tales captures and innocent spirit that occasionally appears in such pieces as "The Snow Image" and "Little Annie's Ramble." Romanticized and whimsical, the drawing points us to one possible version of Hawthorne's idea of goodness. (courtesy of Halldor F. Utne)
This illustration which appears opposite the title page of "The Snow-Image and Other Twice-Told Tales" and opposite p. 379 in vol. 3 of Seven Gables and The Snow-Image, and other Twice-Told Tales carries a sense of youthful feminine innocence suggestive of the gentle kindness Hawthorne celebrated in characters such as Mary Goffe of "The Man of Adamant" and Annie in "Litte Annie's Ramble." from the 15 vol. 1883 Riverside Press edition of Hawthorne's works.

Sitting Room in the Old Manse During the Hawthorne years this was the dining room for the family, as it was during the Alcott years. The fireplace screen was decorated by Rose Hawthorne for Harriett Lothrop. She inscribed a verse from her father's short story, "Fire Worship" in Mosses From an Old Manse: "Beautiful it is to see the strengthening gleam-the deepening light-that gradually casts distinct shadows of the human figure, the table, and the high-backed chairs, upon the opposite wall, and at length, as twilight comes on, replenishes the room with living radiance, and makes life all rose-color."

Woodwax or Dyer's Greenweed (Genista tinctoria) (mentioned in "Alice Doane's Appeal"
Photo copyright Henriette Kress Gov. John Endicott brought Woodwax (or Dyer’s Greenweed) to New England in 1628. The English colonists wanted the yellow-flowering plant to dye wool and flax. It soon became an invasive, alien weed, covering the meadows and hills of the Salem area. It can be found today growing in Salem Woods.

Albertus Magnus(c. 1200-1280; born in Swabia, now Germany and died in Prussia, now Germany) is mentioned by Hawthorne in "The Birth-mark" as one of the philosophers of the Middle Ages who "perhaps imagined themselves, to have acquired from the investigation of nature a power above nature, and from physics a sway over the spiritual world." In "The Birth-mark" Georgiana peruses books in Aylmer's scientific library and comes across works by philosophers of the Middle Ages such as Albertus Magnus, Cornelius Agrippa, Paracelsus, and Friar Bacon, creator of the Brazen Head.
