While E. in a plain, præternatural way, Makes mysteries matters of mere every day. E. is rather like Flaxman, lines straight and severe, The design of a white marble statue in words. C. labours to get at the centre, and then Take a reckoning from there of his actions and men; E. calmly assumes the said centre as granted, And, given himself, has whatever is wanted.

FOREIGN TRANSLATIONS OF, AND ARTICLES ON, EMERSON. 66 Edgar Quinet, in a volume of Lectures on 'Christianity and the French Revolution," 1845, devotes one to "America and the Reformation," in which he thus expresses his opinion of Emerson :-"In this North America, which is pictured to us as so materialistic, I find the most ideal writer of our times. Contrast the formulas of German Philosophy with the inspiration, the initiative, the moral élan of Emerson. The author I have just named is proof enough that bold pioneers are at W work in America pursuing the quest of truth in the moral world. What we announce in Europe from the summit of a revived past, he also announces from the germinating solitude of a world absolutely new. On the virgin soil of the new world behold the footsteps of a man, and a man who is moving toward the future by the same road that we are going." In the "Revue Independante,” 1846, the Countess D'Agoult, under her pseudonym of "Daniel Stern," has an article on "The Literary Tendencies of America," in which Emerson is highly appreciated. Philarète Chasles also wrote about him. Emile Montégut, in the "Revue des Deux Mondes," has written on Emerson in an article entitled "An American Thinker and Poet," 1847. "Hero Worship: Emerson and Carlyle," 1850. English Character judged by an American," 1856. Herman Grimm, in 1857, published a translation of Emerson's "Goethe" and "Shakespeare" in "Representative Men,' with a criticism on his writings. Some sentences from this criticism, as well as from another work by the same author, "New Essays," will be found at page 117, "Memoir." H. Wolff gives a life of Emerson in a Dutch work, published at Bois le Duc, 1871, entitled "Prophets of Modern Date." ADDENDUM.—The portrait of Emerson taken by David Scott in Edinburgh in 1848 (Recollections, p. 161), is in the possession of the widow of the late Dr. Samuel Brown. This lady is resident in Edinburgh. |
