De què tracta
El volum que aplega «Nature», el discurs de l'«American Scholar» i la «Divinity School Address».
Context i història
Els tres textos que van definir el pensament americà del segle XIX. El de l'«American Scholar» el va anomenar Oliver Wendell Holmes «la nostra declaració d'independència intel·lectual»; el de la Divinity School el va deixar vetat a Harvard durant trenta anys. Avís d'edició: «Nature» també consta sola al catàleg. No és cap duplicat: totes dues entrades es queden.

To diminish friction, he paves the road with iron bars, and, mounting a coach with a ship-load of men, animals, and merchandise behind him, he darts through the country, from town to town, like an eagle or a swallow through the air. By the aggregate of these aids, how is the face of the world changed, from the era of Noah to that of Napoleon! The private poor man hath cities, ships, canals, bridges, built for him. He goes to the post-office, and the human race run on his errands; to the book-shop, and the human race read and write of all that happens, for him; to the court-house, and nations repair his wrongs. He sets his house upon the road, and the human race go forth every morning, and shovel out the snow, and cut a path for him. But there is no need of specifying particulars in this class of uses.…
