November 16.
A part of to-day and yesterday I have been making shelves for my Oriental books, which I hear to-day are now on the Atlantic in the Canada.
I see many more nests in the alders now than I suspected in the summer.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, November 16, 1855
Making shelves for my Oriental books. See November 9, 1855 ("Yesterday I got a perfectly sound oak timber . . . As it was too heavy to lift aboard, I towed it. As I shall want some shelves to put my Oriental books on, I shall begin to save boards now."); November 30, 1855 ("This evening I received Cholmondeley’s gift of Indian books, forty-four volumes in all, which came by the Canada, reaching Boston on the morning of the '24th.")
