Excerpt from Emerson in Concord: A Memoir, Written for the "Social Circle" In Concord, Massachusetts"God, when He made the prophet, did not unmake the man." - Locke.It has been the good and time-honored practice of the Social Circle to preserve in its book as true a picture as may be of the life of each departed member. Thus the task fell to me of writing for the chronicles of his village club the story of my father.His friend Mr. Cabot has written this story for the world. Everything was put into his hands, and he made good and true and loyal use of the trust.I write for my father's neighbors and near friends, though I include many who perhaps never saw him. His public life and works have been so well told and critically estimated by several good and friendly hands that I pass lightly over them, to show to those who care to see, more fully than could be done in Mr. Cabot's book consistently with its symmetry, the citizen and villager and householder, the friend and neighbor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
