Remembrances of Emerson. By John Albee. (Gay and Bird. 4s.

6d. net.)—Mr. Albee has not much in the way of " remem- brance" to give us after he has told the story of how he went over to Concord from Andover and spent an afternoon with the philosopher. It is a very pleasing picture, and we are glad that it has been drawn. The remainder of the book may be said to be more about Emersonians than about Emerson. All this is not irrelevant ; in the character of the disciples we see the character of the sage.
