My library does not have that particular title. However, it does have a number of editions of collected works of Emerson. (as you would probably expect from any research library.) With a little more context, I could look up those spots in one of those collected editions. Andrew On Tue, 20 Dec 2005, Wally Thompson wrote:
I'm working on Ralph Waldo Emerson's 'The Conduct of Life' as published in 1876 by James R. Osgood and Company.
I harvested the images from Google Print, though they now seem to have disappeared from Google's site. The images were made from a copy at Harvard College Widener Library: they appear to have two copies:
Punctuation marks are not always clear or have sometimes dropped out on the images. I was wondering if someone could check the following against a paper copy of the 1876 edition:
verso (line 3): Is there a period after 'Massachusetts'? TOC (line 2): Is there a period after 'Page'? page -1 (line 4): Is there a semicolon after 'bare'? page -1 (line -1): Is there a period after 'creates'? page 12 (line 11): Is there a semicolon after 'slate'? page 58 (line 6): Is 'baby jumper' hyphenated? page 74 (line 4): Is there a semicolon after 'nature'? page 179 (footnote): Is there a period after 'worms'? page 245 (line 10): Is there a semicolon after 'wave'?
Thanks, Wally
