Emerson's Complete Works (Classic Reprint)

Of the pieces included in this volume the following, namely, those from the Dial, Character, Plutarch, and the biographical sketches of Dr. Kipley, of Mr. Hoar, and of Henry Thoreau, were printed by Mr. Emerson before I took any part in the arrangement of his papers. The rest, except the sketch of Miss Mary Emerson, I got ready for his use in readings to his friends or to a limited public. He had given up the regular practice of lecturing, but would sometimes, upon special request, read a paper that had been prepared for him from his manuscripts, in the manner described in the preface to Letters and Social A ims, some former lecture serving as a nucleus for the new. Some of these papers he afterwards allowed to be printed; others, namely, A ristocracy, Education, The Man of Letters, The Scholar, Historic Notes of Life and Letters in New England, Mary Moody Emerson, are now published for the first time.
