a history OF the emancipation OF thought
and action in the United States. although
the author gives comprehensive view OF
the revolutionary reaction IN Europe which
followed the Napoieonic era. 'Emancipa-
ton Emerson and THE Transcenden-
talists and the Evoutions,s" are the
titles OF three OF the most important of the
seven chapters which form the hook. Mr..
Hollands study OF Emerson and his work
is a most lucid and synpathetic exposi-

his observations, and his book will prove

importance next to that OF Munger and
