Poor devils!--Nay if there were no point of agreement at
all, and I were more intolerant "of ways of thinking" than I even
am,--yet has not the man Emerson, from old years, been a Human
Friend to me? Can I ever forget, or think otherwise than
lovingly of the man Emerson? No more of this. Write to me in
your first good hour; and say that there is still a brother-soul
left to me alive in this world, and a kind thought surviving far
over the sea!--Chapman, with due punctuality at the time of
publication, sent me the _Representative Men;_ which I read in
the becoming manner: you now get the Book offered you for a
shilling, at all railway stations; and indeed I perceive the
word "representative man"' (as applied to the late tragic loss we
have had in Sir Robert Peel) has been adopted by the Able-
Editors, and circulates through Newspapers as an appropriate
household word, which is some compensation to you for the piracy
you suffer from the Typographic Letter-of-marque men here. I
found the Book a most finished clear and perfect set of
_Engravings in the line manner;_ portraitures full of
_likeness,_ and abounding in instruction and materials for
reflection to me: thanks always for such a Book; and Heaven
send us many more of them.
