Excerpt from A Memoir of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Vol. 1 of 2
The letters I have found less directly available than I had hoped. Emerson says of himself that he was not born under epistolary stars he did not readily communicate his feelings of the mo ment, before they were tried and sifted by reflec tion letter-writing was an effort to him, and the efiort prevented him from giving to his letters that direct impress of his personality - of the man, apart from the author - which we look to find in them. And the same thing is true to a great extent even of his journals, of which there is a full series from his college-days onward almost to the end of his life: they do not often bring us closer to him than we are brought by his published writ ings. I have been obliged to dismember and re arrange them more than I wished, and often to give their general drift in my own words, instead of simply allowing him to tell his own story.
