Introduction
A Biographical Sketch:
Ralph Waldo Emerson was born in 1803 in Boston, to a family of ministers
and merchants. He attended Boston Latin School (1812-1817) and Harvard
College (1817-1821), during which periods he kept journals and won some prizes
for his essays. The journal from which much of his work was to stem was
probably begun during his Harvard years (the printed version now stretches
over 50 years). His aunt, Mary Moody Emerson, was an influence upon his young
