Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: United States Book Company], CLASSIC ESSAYS, RALPH WALDO EMERSON, Essays: Second Series by Ralph Waldo Emerson was published by the United States Book Company, New York City, in, I'm guessing/estimating, 1893. Not an ex-library copy, this 5" X 7 1/2", 248-page, at least 119-year-old offering is in G+ condition. I'd have rated this string-bound-type offering higher but for modest separation observed between pages 72-73, 80-81, 120-121, 125-126, 144-145, and 200-201. But for that, this book is in wonderfully firm/sound physical condition for its rather advanced years. There is modest yellowing of endpapers front and back as well as text's pages(which are top-edged in gold). And, there is a previous owner's signature, dated "May 21, '94", in the upper-right corner of the first blank page following the front loose end page. Now, as to content. This is the Second Series of Essays written by Ralph Waldo Emerson(1803-1882), originally published, I believe, in, or by, 1849. Included in this Series are "The Poet", "Experience", "Character", "Manners", "Gifts", "Nature", "Politics", and "Nominalist and Realist". IN ADDITION, Emerson's "Emancipation Address" is included, originally delivered at Concord, Massachusetts, August 1, 1844, on the Anniversary of the Emancipation of the Negroes in the British West Indies. Truthfully, I've always had considerable trouble following the author's train of thought, be it while in high school, college, or earlier today. Perhaps you'd like to attempt same, unless you already possess the ability to overcome his highly involved, lengthy sentence structure to extract the intended meaning from same. Thanks very much!!<
