An anonymous early work by Blake, identified as such in the catalog of the American Antiquarian Society, which adds the following note: "Later editions, which include additional stories, describe themselves as "By the author of Evenings in Boston." That work, a juvenile reader first published in 1827, has been attributed to John Lauris Blake. Five of its twelve chapters are set in Cuba, where Blake may have traveled during a period of failing health in the 1820s." SABIN 67664.
