1866 Excursions Henry David THOREAU Transcendentalism Philosophy Walden EARLY ed

 

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

 

‘Excursions’ is a collection of several short essays by Henry David Thoreau. Originally published in 1863, this anthology helped lay the groundwork for the transcendentalism movement as well as philosophical movements focusing on environmentalism. While in their most basic form, these essays depict simple, pastoral themes, but at their core the symbolism is profuse, especially in “Walden” and “Walking”.

 

The 1866 fourth edition was a curiously small print run. Only 500 copies were printed – this example is notably rare!
