Thank you for that.
Emerson is in my all time top ten of writers.
The old Napoleon Hill books and similar ones quote him and quote from the essays “Compensation” and “Self-Reliance.”
At some point schools assigned anthologies which did not have these. Funny. I notice in the old days when printed books were in book stores that the “Compensation” essay was gone from most. A shame.
New versions could be “Government Reliance—Your Only Hope” and “Give Grief to the Ruling Class” for compensation.
