Included is a major essay on Sir Walter Raleigh that was not published during the author's lifetime and a fragmentary college piece here published for the first time. Titles of essays published in the volume are given below. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Early Essay? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Seasons \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnxieties and Delights of a Discoverer \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMen Whose Pursuit Is Money \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOf Keeping a Private Journal \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\"We Are Apt to Become What Others . . .
