The opening of the current century was par- ticularly notable In New England as one of thosc perlods fn the history of human thought, ecurring at regular Intervals like recurront waves on Time’s great ocean, when there s o sudden and simultancous influx into the world of vigorous and original tinds. In the year 150, when the germs of the Transcendental philosopliy had already been tranaplanted toour shores, Emerson, * the descendant of elght gen- erations of Puritun clergymen,” was n young man of 27, and had for two years been the pag- torof n Unitaglon Church in Bostun, Aleott, four years his senfor, was cngaged In working out his remarkable ideas of the voentlon of the elucator, in Germnutown, Pa.
