New England transcendentalism, I was impressed anew by the poetry it produced. I found that much of it had not been republished, and was to be found only in the pages of such periodicals as The Dial, The Radical, and The Journal of Speculative Philosophy. It seemed to me that a representative collection of the poetry influenced by transcendentalism would serve to indicate how largely that movement had affected American literature, and also to make accessible those poems that had been neglected. In making this selection of verse it has not been my aim to choose only what is best, but rather to give specimens of the poetical output of that movement. The selections taken from Emerson, Lowell, and others have been drawn from the pages of the periodicals in which transcendentalism found expression, in order that they may be indicative of the influence coming to these poets from that source.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Excerpt from Little Journeys to the Homes of American Authors: HawthorneSince the reader, however, would greatly mistake if he fancied this, in good sooth, the ancestral halls of the Hawthornes,-the genuine Hawthorn den, - he will be glad to save the credit of his fancy by knowing that it was here our author's bridal tour, - which com menced in Boston, then three hours away, - ended, and his married life be gan. Here, also, his first child was born, and here those sad and silver mosses ac cumulated upon his fancy, from which he heaped so soft a bed for our dreaming.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Elements of Biology: A Practical Text-Book Correlating Botany, Zoölogy, and Human PhysiologyThe plan of this book recognizes first-year biology as a science founded upon certain underlying and basic principles. These principles underlie not only biology, but also organized society. The culmination of such an elementary course is avowedly the understanding of man, and the principles which hold together such a course should be chiefly physiological. The functions of all living things, plant or animal, movement, irritability, nutrition, respiration, excretion, and reproduction; the interrelation of plants and animals and their economic relations, all these as they relate to man should enter into a course in elementary biology.But to make plain these physiological processes, difficult even for an advanced student of biology to comprehend, the simplest method of demonstration is necessary. Plant physiology, because of the ease with which simple demonstrations can be made, is more profitable ground for beginners than is the physiology of animals. The foods which animals use are manufactured and used by green plants; the action of the digestive enzymes, the principle of osmosis, and the subject of reproduction can better be first handled from the botanical aspect. The topics just mentioned introduced from the standpoint of the botanist gain much by repetition from the zoological angle. The principles of physiology, after being applied in experiment to plants and animals, emerge in final clarity when applied at the last to man, - the most complex of all living things.One of the most important factors in successful science teaching is repetition. In a recent address President Remsen of Johns Hopkins University said: -"The most important defect in the teaching of chemistry to-day is the absence of repetition. There are too many fleeting impressions. We cover too much ground. The student gets only a veneer."
