[SC: 16.93], [PU: London: Macmillan and co., 1929], NOISBN, [Essays] FINE LEATHER BINDING. Octavo (18 x 13cm), pp.[4] 538. Green half-morocco with cloth over boards. Gilt ruling to morocco borders, gilt titles and additional tooling to spine. Raised bands. Top edge gilt. With the bookmarking ribbon still intact. Originally bound for Hatchards. Infrequent foxing to leaves, mostly to preliminaries and rear. Otherwise, internally bright and clean. Ownership inscription in blue ink to a preliminary, very small binder's label to flyleaf verso. Toning and spotting to fore and bottom edges. Minor white mark to upper board. Spine slightly sunned. Very good. A compendium of Emerson's era-defining transcendentalist essays, including 'Nature,' the 'Over-Soul,' and 'The Poet' which was heard in lecture form by Walt Whitman in 1842. Emerson praises the Poet for standing "among partial men for the complete man," and ultimately laments that no poet had yet taken up the great task of writing America.<
