[Manuscript] / Ralph Waldo Emerson.
No full textThe manuscript bears cross outs and pencil marginalia as well as blocks around specific paragraphs. The manuscript also bears notations in orange and sometimes green. See also letters in the collection from Emerson.This manuscript was a draft for Emerson\u27s Lecture on Aristocracy which he later collected and published as _Lectures and biographical sketches_ (c. 1883). Emerson covers the topics of self respect, initiative, and conformity, urging listeners to beware of "laughing devils" hidden in well-dressed crowds, and to govern their impulses in order to become "men of honor." In one passage he states that "All reference to models, all comparison with neighboring abilities and reputations, is the road to mediocrity." Emerson discusses Chartism and the "Red Revolution" and urges listeners to maintain positions of "armed neutrality" in the hope that the "music of liberty" will prevail. The manuscript breaks off after Emerson\u27s catalogue of how the ancients equated nobility and largeness of heart with giant proportions and strength; some of the examples he uses do not appear in the published version of this talk. Emerson established the foundation for transcendentalism, a philosophy derived in part from European Romanticism, becoming one of its most well-known spokespersons with the publication of _Nature_ (1836) and "The American Scholar." Actively writing essays, lectures, and poems during the period known as the American renaissance (1835-65), Emerson also helped launch _The Dial_ (1840) a magazine for expressing transcendental philosophies and ideas

Letter from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Charles Stearns Wheeler
No full textAutograph letter from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Charles Stearns Wheeler. Transcription included.Mr C.S. Wheller.
My dear sir,
I omitted to give you the order for [deleted] on the Atheneum for the 6th Vol. Fraser, which Mr Munroe can execute very well without trouble to you. In case you should wish to see the article, Cruthers & Jonson, I have included the 2d Vol. in the order. When you are at the printing office, will you just make the inquiry, whether they are printing 260 copies of these 2 vols. with a London title page. Of course, it must be so, yet the inquiry would certify us.
R. W. Emerson
Concord, 16 May 1839
[Manuscript] "The Nun\u27s Aspiration" / [Ralph Waldo Emerson and Mary Moody Emerson].
No full textSee also letters in the collection from Emerson, and an additional manuscript for his Lecture on Aristocracy.In this poem, the speaker gains strength to get through her daily tedium and face the morrow by contemplating the work of God in the beauty of nature and the murmuring of leaves. She proclaims, "On earth I dream;-- I die to be," emphasizing that her true being will only emerge after death when she will be fully united with nature. Emerson\u27s aunt, Mary Moody Emerson, was a strong influence over him and his brothers growing up; this poem renders a passage from her diary into verse. It was first published in _Selected Poems_ in 1876. Emerson established the foundation for transcendentalism, a philosophy derived in part from European Romanticism, becoming one of its most well-known spokespersons with the publication of _Nature_ (1836) and "The American Scholar." Actively writing essays, lectures, and poems during the period known as the American renaissance (1835-65), Emerson also helped launch _The Dial_ (1840) a magazine for expressing transcendental philosophies and ideas
