Emerson, Ralph Waldo. Works. 12 vol. ea. $1.75. Houghton.
Edward Waldo Emerson has carefully edited this twelve volume centenary edition of his father’s works, culling some valuable new material from the author’s note books, “his savings-bank,” he called them. The three volumes recently added to complete the twelve are, “Lectures and biographical sketches,” “Miscellanies,” and “Natural history of intellect and other papers.” “The last of them is provided with an elaborate general index to the entire edition. No less than five papers in this closing volume are now printed for the first time. The editing of these volumes, done by the pious hands of Mr. Edward Waldo Emerson, offers a shining example of what such editorial work should be, and makes the present form of the writings far more desirable than any of the earlier ones.” (Dial).
“The present edition, in its Notes by Dr. Emerson, contains the first complete commentary on the author’s writings.”
