Excerpt from Some Unpublished Letter of Henry D. And Sophia E: Thoreau, a Chapter in the History of a Still-Born Book The present editor has assured himself that Froude's presentation copy of his self-sacrificing Nemesis of Faith is to this day in Emerson's library at the old home, but he has not been able to learn that Froude also sent a copy to Thoreau; so it is a safe inference that Thoreau read Emerson's. A phrase in Froude's letter to Thoreau shows conclusively that Thoreau had learned of Froude from Emerson and that Thoreau had read Froude's ill-starred Nemesis - the wild protest against all au thority, Divine and human, as that gentlest of Quakeresses, caroline'fox, terms it. Froude writes this phrase within inverted commas: not on ao count of his [emerson's] word, but because I myself have read and know you. This can refer only to a complimentary copy of A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Riv ers that had been previously sent to Froude either by Thoreau or their mutual friend Emerson. Thoreau himself has recorded that of his still-born book some seventy-five copies were given away.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
