The fine Newton copy of Our Old Home, inscribed by Hawthorne on the front endpaper: "Dr Gason 12 via della Mercede." Dr John Gason, Fellow of the College of Physicians in Ireland, is listed at Via della Mercede in various guidebooks from the 1850s-60s.

The Hawthornes and Dr Gason would have overlapped in Rome in the late 1850s, and possibly had mutual friends from Bagni di Lucca. The present copy is the second printing, with p. 399 blank.
