This version of compiled Ralph Waldo Emerson essays is a rare 1884 edition.
The 275 page book includes The Poet, which expresses the need for the United States to have its own new and unique poet to write about the new country's virtues and vices, Experience, which speaks out against the effort to overintellectualize life-and particularly against experiments to create utopias, Character, Manners, Gifts, Nature, Politics, which shows Emerson's belief that civilization is only beginning and can reach unfathomable places through moral force and creative intelligence, Nominalist and Realist, and the lecture New England Reformers given at Armory Hall, in which Emerson states, "Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous, or when they are most luxurious. They are conservatives after dinner, or before taking their rest; when they are sick, or aged: in the morning, or when their intellect or their conscience have been aroused, when they hear music, or when they read poetry, they are radicals."
