This is the frontis to The English Emersons, the first and largest of what were to be Emerson’s many publications on the subject of his family’s history. Containing an extensive biographical sketch of Emerson himself attributed to "A. A.," it is an invaluable source regarding his life and work, though somewhat problematic in that "A. A." remains unidenfied. [1]
