About This Item

Ireland, Alexander. "In Memoriam. Ralph Waldo Emerson: Recollections of His Visits to England in 1833, 1847-8, 1872-3, and extracts from unpublished letters" Published in London by Simpkin, Marshall, & Co., in 1882.

An important series of somewhat overawed reminisces and recollections from one of Emerson's lifelong friends. The book was based in part on a piece Ireland wrote for the Manchester Examiner on April 29, 1882, the day after news of Emerson's death reached England. It was later reissued, with many additions, as "Ralph Waldo Emerson: His Life, Genius, and Writings". Alexander Ireland [1810-1894] was a Scottish newspaper publisher, author and bibliophile who became acquainted with the Sage of Concord during Emerson's first visit to England in 1832. It was during that visit that Emerson also met William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Thomas Carlyle and other literary notables. Ireland persuaded Emerson to return to England in 1847 for a lecture tour which he arranged. Ireland is also remembered for his book, "The Book-Lover's Enchiridion", which was also published in 1882 under the pseudonym of "Philobiblos". Hardcover. 5.75"x8.75", 120 pages. Publisher's light blue cloth with black titles, black endpapers. Covers with some light wear and soil. A little internal spotting.
