It is that project which I mentioned to you in a letter by Mr. Barnard, a book to be called 'The Transcendentalist; or, 'The Spiritual Inquirer, or the like.... Those who are most interested in it designed to make gratuitous contribution to its pages, until its success could be assured." The idea of the grim Scotchman as editor of what we came in due time to know as "The Dial!"

On these nights, too, might be seen Margaret Fuller, the transcendentalist. She had left her Massachusetts home to take her place with Horace Greeley as literary editor of the Tribune, and between whiles devoted herself to charitable work in an effort to better the social condition of the poor of the metropolis.

A generation passed before Emerson was again welcomed by his alma mater. The reader who has mastered those three utterances by the Concord Transcendentalist in 1836, 1837, and 1838 has the key to Emerson. He was a seer, not a system-maker. The constitution of his mind forbade formal, consecutive, logical thought.

I shall always cherish a grateful recollection of Nightmare Abbey, for having been the means of introducing me to a true transcendentalist; and, though he is a little older than myself, which is all one in Germany, I shall very soon have the pleasure of subscribing myself

Heraclitus remains the honest prophet of immediacy: a mystic without raptures or bad rhetoric, a sceptic who does not rely for his results on conventions unwittingly adopted, a transcendentalist without false pretensions or incongruous dogmas. The immediate is not, however, a good subject for discourse, and the expounders of Heraclitus were not unnaturally blamed for monotony.

In this bursting of bounds, in these epic grandeurs in the midst of confusion, and vivid realities mingled with untrammeled speculation, lies the secret of Melville's purpose, and, by contrast, the explanation of Conrad's modern effect beside him. Melville, friend of Hawthorne and transcendentalist philosopher on his own account, sees nature as greater and more terrible than man.

Transcendentalism has been a part of race unfolding since time began, and will continue to be throughout all race evolution. In the old civilization we studied the transcendentalist and transcendentalism from an entirely different view-point than we do today. Transcendentalism is a state of consciousness and man evolves into it out of the natural states of his own mind.

But what was almost worse was the question with which Georgiana opened her conversation with him. 'In music, she asked, leaning forward and fixing him with her large dark eyes, 'are you a classicist or a transcendentalist? George did not lose his presence of mind.

And undeniably Theism is one of those questions, unless we admit with the transcendentalist what is contrary to evident fact, that men have an intuitive perception of God. In the next place, the minor premise of this argument is assumed. There is no general consent of mankind in favor of Theism, but only a very extensive consent. Mr.
