Print: $19.47 The Extracts Relating to the Indians is a collection of extracts culled by Thoreau
over the course of approximately ten years. The purpose of this endeavor, while not definitively
stated by Thoreau, was to compile information relating to aboriginal America for anecdotal
use in his major and minor written works.
For the first time in print, the whole of this notebook series will be made available to the
reader. Thoreau historian and biographer, Paul Maher Jr., has avidly transcribed from the
original notebooks all of the material collected by Thoreau. He has also painstakingly annotated
the majority of these extracts by locating all of the original sources and providing them here
to place them into a larger context.
Affordably priced for both the lay reader and struggling institutions, it is Maher’s intent to
bring this largely unknown body of work to the attention of the world in order to improve our
understanding of this complex and influential American writer.

Print: $12.88 Emerson is one of the most influential thinkers in American history. His Transcendentalism preached a close communion with man and nature and is one of the great life-affirming philosophies of any age. Society and Solitude provides a salient exemplification of Emerson's thought. As one of the architects of the transcendentalist movement, Emerson embraced a philosophy that championed the individual, emphasized independent thought, and prized "the splendid labyrinth of one's own perceptions." More than any writer of his time, he forged a style distinct from his European predecessors and embodied and defined what it meant to be an American. Matthew Arnold called Emerson's essays "the most important work done in prose." "I was simmering, simmering, simmering. Emerson brought me to a boil."
This classic contains chapters on social aims; poetry and imagination; eloquence; quotation and originality; progress of culture, Persian poetry; inspiration; greatness; and immortality

Print: $18.21 Download: $3.13 For the first time, Henry David Thoreau's unpublished Indian notebooks will be available. This, the first in a series of eleven notebooks, will comprise a complete set of Thoreau's collected extracts from his extensive reading of North America's cultural anthropology. “Everywhere in our corn and grain fields the earth is strewn with the relics of a race, which has vanished as completely as if trodden in with the earth- When I meditate on the destiny of this prosperous branch of the Saxon family, and the exhausted energies of this new country-I forget that what is now Concord was once Musketaquid, And that the American race has had its history- The future reader of history will associate his generation with the red man in his thoughts, and give it credit for some sympathy with that race." Henry David Thoreau Journal, Fall 1842
