Excerpt from The Genius and Character of Emerson: Lectures at the Concord School of Philosophy

The heliotype of Emerson in this volume is from a photograph, by permission of the Concord Library, of David Scott's portrait, representing Emerson as he stood before his Scotch audiences in the winter of 1847 - 1848; painted at Edinburgh in 1848, and never before copied. The view of the Orchard House and Hillside Chapel was taken in 1881 by Mr. E. Chamberlain, of Medfield, through whose courtesy it is here printed as the best representation of the rural environment of our School which has yet been made.
