About this book

Lectures and essays by Emerson, gathered by J. E. Cabot, whose prefatory note is dated September 1893. The first two pieces were given at Harvard in 1870 and 1871 as university lectures on philosophy. The title lecture develops an old plan of Emerson's to observe the facts of the mind like a naturalist, giving anecdotes of the spirit instead of a system. Memory and Boston follow, then Michael Angelo and Milton, and eight papers from The Dial, among them Walter Savage Landor and The Tragic.
