Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Personality of Emerson Having determined to write a series of volumes describing the personal traits of four distinguished authors whom I intimately knew, - Emerson, Thoreau, Ellery Channing, and Bronson Alcott, - I offer this volume as the second. So close were the relations of these friends, that mention of all is naturally made in each hook, involving some repetition. From these books, illustrated with portraits, a good conception is had of the Concord school of poets and philosophers, who were so distinctly original. A part of the plan was to give in each book the best portrait, with a facsimile of manuscript. The portrait of Thoreau did not appear in "The Personality of Thoreau," but was reserved for Channing´s life. Emerson´s portrait here given was painted by David Scott at Edinburgh in 1848, but reached America thirty years later, and was never well engraved before. In some respects it is the best of many portraits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
