- The first three chapters appeared in Putnam's magazine 1853 under the title of "Excursion to Canada."
- "Prayers" was attributed to Thoreau by mistake, only a prayer in verse included being his. The essay itself, first published in the Dial, is by Emerson and is now published in his Natural history of the intellect.
