Society and Solitude is a classic collection of American 19th Century philosophical essays by the great American philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson.This classic essay collection contains the following titles and snippet:SOCIETY AND SOLITUDECIVILIZATIONARTELOQUENCEDOMESTIC LIFEFARMINGWORKS AND DAYSBOOKSCLUBSCOURAGESUCCESSOLD AGEI FELL in with a humorist, on my travels, who had in his chamber a cast of the Rondanini Medusa, and who assured me that the name which that fine work of art bore in the catalogues was a misnomer, as he was convinced that the sculptor who carved it intended it for Memory, the mother of the Muses. In the conversation that followed, my new friend made some extraordinary confessions. 'Do you not see,' he said, 'the penalty of learning, and that each of these scholars whom you have met at S--, though he were to be the last man, would, like the executioner in Hood’s poem, guillotine the last but one?'
