Excerpt from The Teachers of Emerson The aim of this work is to show the essentially Platonic quality of Emerson's thought. It is often held that his transcendentalism has its source in the philosophy of Germany, and that his mysticism is an inheritance from the sacred books of the East. But a careful study has convinced the author that Greek thought has been the most important factor in Emerson's intellectual development. Beneath the surface of his days and years there ran a spirit of philosophic inquiry which was fed by repeated readings in the old philosophers of Greece. From these sons of light he drank in large draughts of intellectual day. The author has attempted to show this by a comparative study of Emerson and the Platonists. In his studies the author has been helped by the labors of Dr. E. W. Emerson, whose edition of the Complete Works of Emerson has afforded many valuable suggestions regarding Emerson's acquaintance with the old philosophers.

Excerpt from Four Great Teachers: John Ruskin, Thomas Carlyle, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Robert Browning John ruskin is the son of a London merchant, and was born in the year 1819. He thus writes of himself Who am I, that I should challenge you, the squires of England, do you ask? My mother was a sailor's daughter, and, please you, one of my aunts was a baker's wife, the other a tanner's and I don't know much more about my family, except that there used to be a green grocer of the name in a small shop near the Crystal Palace. Something of my early and vulgar life, if it interests you, I will tell in next 'fors' in this one it is indeed my business, poor gipsy herald as I am, to bring you such a challenge, though you should hunt and hang me for it. Mr. Ruskin's father came over the Border in search of fortune. He came up to London. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Teachers' Manual to Accompany Lockwood and Emerson's Composition and Rhetoric The following brief Manual does not aim to furnish a key to all the exercises in the authors' "Composition and Rhetoric," or to hamper the teacher's individuality by dictating exact methods to be pursued. The purpose of the pamphlet is: (1) To offer certain hints which could not appropriately be included in the pages of the text-book itself; (2) To furnish illustrations of work done with and by students in the class room; and (3) To supply references and supplementary drill. The familiar introductory talk with teachers is intended to aid the inexperienced teacher who has few books or helps, by suggesting definitely some of the practical details of the assignment and the preparation of lessons and of the conduct of recitations. The Manual proper discusses by chapters the characteristic features of the "Composition and Rhetoric," laying emphasis upon those parts concerning which teachers have expressed the most interest. This discussion is, of course, suggestive rather than exhaustive; but it is hoped that it will meet the requirements of our fellow-teachers who have by letter expressed a generous desire to cooperate in the attempt to vitalize the teaching of English.

Excerpt from The Personality of Emerson In my nineteenth year, as I was reading Greek with Professor Hoyt of the Exeter Academy, he related to me how his classmates at Dartmouth invited Emerson in 1838 to give them that grand discourse on Literary Ethics which was one of the first of his orations I had read, how few under stood it, and how Emerson repelled the proposal of reporting it. I curse the Reporters, said the gentle sage, I curse them; so, at least, my old teacher reported that Emerson at Hanover had said to him. But when, many years after, I cited this remark to Emerson, he could not believe he had made it. But his opinion was so constant.
