In July 1839 Emerson wrote in his journal: "A lecture is a new
literature...only then is the orator successful when he is himself
agitated & is as much a hearer as any of the assembly. In that
office you may & shall...yet see the electricity part from the
cloud & shine from one part of heaven to the other." In this
final volume of the early lectures we see the mature lecturer,
directing himself toward that eloquence to which he aspired and
finding a new vocation. With these lectures-ten from the series
"Human Life," nine from the series "The Present Age," the "Address
to the People of East Lexington," and two surviving lectures from
the series "The Times"-Emerson produced virtually all his earned
income from 1838-1842. The volume includes a biographical and
critical introduction. A comprehensive index has been carefully
prepared for the three volumes.
