Excerpt from Modern Humanists: Sociological Studies of Carlyle, Mill, Emerson, Arnold, Ruskin, and SpencerI have only to express, further, my sense of the in adequacy of the following studies all round, and of one or two in particular. In the essay on Emerson I now note an omission to dwell on valuable points in his teaching which I had formerly acknowledged. Lack of due leisure caused other oversights. But to remedy all would have been to make each section into a treatise and I fancy I do better to keep nearly within those limits which, at least, secured an audience for the lectures.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
