Whom Hawthorne and Emerson thought was ugly as sin...
1. Do we call this the land of the free? What is it to be free from King George and continue the slaves of King Prejudice? What is it to be born free and not to live free? What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom?
2. It is remarkable how closely the history of the Apple-tree is connected with that of man.
3. One afternoon, near the end of the first summer, when I went to the village to get a shoe from the cobbler's, I was put into jail....
4. What difference does it make, whether you shake dirt or shake dice? If you win, society is the loser.
5. The science of Humboldt is one thing, poetry is another thing. The poet to-day, notwithstanding all the discoveries of science, and the accumulated learning of mankind, enjoys no advantage over Homer.
These are some of the joys of my new two volume set, which I will pay scant attention to for a few days, and then shelve with calamitous éclat:-

I love America and its children, all its children, particularly Manoo...
