Kjøbenhavn (Copenhagen), 1857. 8vo. Cont. hcalf. Some brownspotting. Engr. portrait. 199 pp. Rare first Danish edition of one of the main works of the famous American philosopher, one of America's most influential and important authors, lecturers, thinkers and philosophers, Ralph Waldo Emerson.Ralph Waldo Emerson was born in 1803 in Boston, Massachusetts and died in 1882. He is regarded as one of the founders of American transcendentalism and the intellectual centre of the American Renaissance. He is considered a thinker of bold originality, and his essays and lectures offer models of clarity, style, and thought, which made him a formidable presence in 19th century American life."For an abstract thinker he was strangely in love with the concrete facts of life. From the pages of his teeming notebooks he took the materials for his lectures, arranging and rearranging it [...]. When the lectures had served their purpose he rearranged the material in essays and published them." (Encycl. Br.). His important work "Representative Men", originally published in Boston in 1850, is the second of these collections. In it he deals with "The Uses of Great Men", and thereby treats the highly important question at the time: The differences between the genious and the "ordinary" man. He firmly believed that "There is one mind common to all individual men, and that "in every work of genious we recognize our own rejected thoughts." The work was published in Danish in the late Golden Age of this country, and might very well have influenced intellectual life at the time immediately after Kierkegaard. Emerson was a close friend of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry David Thoreau, and he often took walks with them in Concord. It was Emerson who encouraged Thoreau's talent and early career, and the land on which Thoreau built his cabin on Walden Pond belonged to Emerson. He was a great supporter of abolitionism, and his anti-slavery statements caused him many problems. In 1856 he said: "I think we must get rid of slavery, or we must get rid of freedom."

Originaludgaven af Lyschanders Danmarkshistorie i det pragtfulde Waldkirch-tryk. Lyschander, Christian IV's historiograf fik til opgave at skrive Danernes historie som et modstykke til den svenske Johannes Magnus' historieværk. Han udfylder lakunen mellem Bibelen og Saxo ved hjælp af Niels Pedersens "Gullandske Dokument", som Lyschander indfører i sin bog efter først at have omskrevet det med runer for at give det endnu større ærværdighed og beviskraft (side 24), og han fører med store krumspring og fantasifuldhed det danske kongehus' anerække tilbage til Adam !, og således stammer Christian IV ned fra Noah i opadstigende linie med 135 aner. Alligevel var dette ikke nok til at distancere svenskerne. da Johannes Magnus kunne bryste sig af, på det svenske folks vegne, at Gustav Adolf havde 148 forfædre. - Lyschander startede med at identificere de folkenavne, som forefandtes på Ptolemæus' kort over Jylland og de Scandiske Øer. Holberg udstillede i parodisk form i sin Epistel 193 denne form for historieskrivning. - Bibl. Danica III:13 - Birkelund nr. 38 - Thesaurus 544.
