Summary

Henry Salt later prepared a third, substantially revised version of his Life of Thoreau in 1908 but was unable to find a publisher. Salt still contemplated publishing the revised edition in 1929. This third edition was finally published in 1993 by Centaur Press and University of Illinois Press, edited by George Hendrick, Willene Hendrick and Fritz Oehlschlaegar. A paperback reprint of the third edition was published in 2000 by the University of Illinois Press.
