Other essays include \"Character,\" \"Prudence,\" \"Intellect,\" \"Love,\" \"Beauty,\" and \"The American Scholar.\" Readers of all ages will want to keep this volume on hand to inspire and refresh the spirit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ralph Waldo Emerson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486469476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486469478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Ralph Waldo Emerson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051619250431,"sku":"9780486469478","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c77bc11-4900-4544-a51b-760951adfe33.jpg?v=1685014165","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nature-and-other-essays-ralph-waldo-emerson-9780486469478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
