“Nowhere is the singular charm of this writer more marked than in the vivid pages of this work.... Irrespective of subject, there is a charm about whatever Heine wrote that captivates the reader and wins his sympathies before criticism steps in. But there can be none who would fail to admit the power as well as the beauty of the wide-ranging pictures of the intellectual development of the country of deep thinkers. Beneath his grace the writer holds a mighty grip of fact, stripped of all disguise and made patent over all confusing surroundings.”—Bookseller.

EMERSON AT HOME AND ABROAD.
By MONCURE D. CONWAY.
Author of “The Sacred Anthology,” “The Wandering Jew,” “Thomas Carlyle,” &c.
This book reviews the personal and general history of the so-called “Transcendental” movement in America; and it contains various letters by Emerson not before published, as well as personal recollections of his lectures and conversations.
“Mr. Conway has not confined himself to personal reminiscences; he brings together all the important facts of Emerson’s life, and presents a full account of his governing ideas—indicating their mutual relations, and tracing the processes by which Emerson gradually arrived at them in their mature form.”—St. James’s Gazette.
Seventeenth Edition. Post 8vo, pp. xx.—314, cloth, 10s. 6d.
