This book is one of the American Men of Letters series. Emerson delineates himself so perfectly in his various writings that the careful reader sees his nature just as it was in all its essentials, and has little more to learn than those human accidents which individualize him in space & time. About all these accidents we have a natural & pardonable curiosity. We wish to know of what race he came, what were the conditions in which he was born, what educational & social influences helped to mold his character, and what new elements nature added to make him Ralph Waldo Emerson.
