[glibrary] Request: checking some punctuation in Emerson's Conduct of Life (1876)

[Andrew Sly]

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.
