Ramblings on The Old Maid in the Winding Sheet by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) penned one of the best ghost stories from 1800-1849 when he published "The Old Maid in the Winding Sheet" in 1837. This story is included in The Best Ghost Stories 1800-1849: a Classic Ghost Anthology with comments and story background.

“Literature is the most noble of professions. In fact, it is about the only one fit for a man. For my own part, there is no seducing me from the path. I shall be a litterateur, at least, all my life; nor would I abandon the hopes which still lead me on for all the gold in California.”
