They do very well as they now stand.-like 'boulders,' as he says,-in 'paragraphs incompressible, each sentence an infinitely repellent particle.' In such sentences his main points recur again and again, and become fixed in the memory. Yes, truly, his insight is admirable; his truth is precious. Yet the secret of his effect is not even in these: it is in his temper. It is in the hopeful, serene, beautiful temper wherewith these, in Emerson, are indissolubly joined; in which they work and have their being."MATTHEW ARNOLD: Discourses in America, 178-180, 193. "Amid the utter delirium-disease called book making, how comforting to know of an author who has, through a long life, and in spirit. written as honestly, spontaneously, and innocently as the sun shines or the wheat grows-the truest, sanest, most moral, sweetest literary man on record-unspoiled by pecuniary or any other warp-ever teaching the law within-ever loyally soul!"-WALT WHITMAN: Critic, i. 331. outcropping his own self only-his own poetic and devout

"The first eight volumes of the present edition of Mr. Emerson's writings contain his collected Essays as he left them, except some revision of the punctuation and the correction of obvious mistakes. The ninth volume comprises the pieces chosen by Mr. Emerson from the Poems' and May-Day' to form the Selected Poems,' with the addition of some poems which were omitted in that selection, and some that have remained unpublished. In many instances emendations which were pencilled in the margin by Mr. Emerson, but were not adopted in the Selected Poems,' are now introduced, upon the ground that, as they seem to have suggested themselves at the time when his powers were in their fullest vigor, it may fairly be sup posed that he would, upon reconsideration, have admitted them. The tenth and eleventh volumes consist of lectures hitherto unprinted, and of 'Occasional Addresses' and other prose writings which have appeared separately or in periodicals."-Prefatory Note by J. E. Cabot.

GENERAL CRITICISM:

"His work is not of the stuff that one can clip scarlet patches from. The matter and the form are inseparable, as one finds them in the best talk. He produces the effect of conversation rather than of literature; his thoughts are spoken out for the stirring of kindred thought rather than written down for learning."-Sat. Rev., xli. 275. "It is just in the combination of an ideal height and range of thought with balance and sanity that we find Emerson's charm. He constantly teaches us in his informal way, as Berkeley taught us with classical English and philosophy, that idealism is nothing else than common sense transfigured and enthroned above sophistry."-Sat. Rev., lvii. 118.

More than any of the other great writers of the age, he is a Voice. He is almost impersonal. He is pure from the taint of sect, clique, or party. He does not argue, but announces; he speaks when the Spirit moves him, but not longer. Better than any contemporary, he exhibits the might of the spoken word. He helps us to understand the enigma how Confucius and Buddha and Socrates and greater teachers still should have produced such marvelTous effects by mere oral utterance."-RICHARD GARNETT: Life of Emerson, ("Great Writers,") 188.

...

Look through all Emerson's writings, and then consider whether in all literature you can find a man who has better fulfilled that aspiration stated in such condensed words by Joubert, to put a whole book into a page, a whole page into a phrase, and that phrase into a word.' And if you say that, nevertheless, this is nothing so long as an author has not given us a system of the universe, it can only be said that Emerson never desired to do this, but left on record the opinion that it is too young by some ages yet to form a creed." The system-makers have their place, no doubt; but, when we consider how many of them have risen and fallen since Emerson began to write.-Coleridge, Schelling, Cousin, Comte, Mill, and so on, down to the Hegel of yesterday and the Spencer of to-day,-it is really evident that the absence of a system cannot prove much more short-lived than the possession of that commodity. It must be left for future generations to determine Emerson's precise position even as a poet. There is seen in him the tantalizing combination of the profoundest thoughts with the greatest possible variation in artistic work, some times mere boldness and almost waywardness, while at other times he achieves the most exquisite melody touched with a certain wild grace. He has been likened to an æolian harp, which now gives and then perversely withholds its music."-Nation, xxxiv. 376.

"Emerson's place as a thinker is somewhat difficult to fix. He cannot properly be called a psychologist. made notes and even delivered lectures on the natural history of the intellect; but they seem to have been made up, according to his own statement, of hints and fragments rather than of the results of systematic study. He was a man of intuition, of insight, a seer, a poet, with a tendency to mysticism. This tendency renders him sometimes obscure, and once in a while almost, if not quite, unintelligible. . . . But that which is mysticism to a dull listener
