About this book
Miscellanies gathers Nature, addresses, and lectures, the forms named in the volume’s title page description of its contents. The contents list The American Scholar as an oration before the Phi Beta Kappa Society at Cambridge, alongside Literary Ethics, an address to literary societies. The discussion of natural beauty warns that morning, rainbows, mountains, and other sights become mere shows if pursued too eagerly.
The account of beauty treats a spiritual element as essential to beauty’s perfection and associates beauty that can be loved without effeminacy with the human will. The reflection on population describes people as the best who could live under the existing conditions of soils, gases, animals, and morals.
