[Rarebooks] FS: Where's Waldo? 1882 Ralph Waldo Emerson Memorial

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

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unpublished letters"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.  [430/43036]  $125
