He also edited a book of Thoreau\\u2019s journal writings. He wrote a preface to A Rambler\\u2019s Lease paraphrased as follows: \\u201cThe writer of this little book has found so much pleasure in other men\'s woods and fields that he has come to look upon himself as in some sort the owner of them.
