Sobre este artículo
Boston, MA: James R. Osgood & Co., Late Ticknor & Fields and Fields. Osgood & Co, 1876. 12 x 18 cm. This is Emerson's frank and tart assessment of the Englishman. He calls on Coleridge and gets a blast against Unitarianism. He visits Wordsworth and gets an assessment of America: No class of gentlemen (a class of men of leisure),""too much given to the making of money."" Emerson discusses ""Race"" vis-a-vis the British, and also Arabs, negroes, French and others. Then he discusses ""Ability"", and ""Solidarity"". ""Character""-""-the British are reputed morose......they are sad by comparison with the signing and dancing nations."" He also discusses Aristocracy, Literature, Universities and makes a special trip to Stonehenge, and discusses that. His overall assessment of the British is quite positive. Beige cloth on board, blindstamped design with gilt title, slight wear to heel and toe of spine; small nameplate ""Clara Hersey, 315 Walnut Ave."" on front pastedown. Very good. . Catalogs: Literature.
