In one of these, a group of eight people which includes Doctor Cacophodel and Ichabod Pigsnort talk by a fire in the Crystal Hills while looking for the title object. In another of them, a painter has the ability to paint portraits that look into the "inmost souls" of Elinor and Walter Ludlow.  In addition to "The Great Carbuncle" and "The Prophetic Pictures," this collection also contains the author's personal reflections on "The Toll-Gatherer's Day" and "The Vision of the Fountain."  First published nine years after another collection containing "Mrs. Bullfrog" and "The Artist of the Beautiful," it also contains a story in which the title character is saved from hanging by Dominicus Pike and another whose title object is possessed by Mr. Hooper.  Containing stories such as "Mr. Higginbotham's Catastrophe" and "The Minister's Black Veil," FTP identify this collection of short stories so named because they had all been previously published in periodicals, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
