Gday, you linked Index:Essays (1841).djvu and we have Essays: First Series. Would you mind checking that they are the same thing, and if they are we can look to do a match and split of the work in the main namespace, into these Page:s, and then we would transclude it back to the main namespace. Thanks. billinghurst sDrewth 16:50, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
- Under Emerson's hand, there appear to be two important editions of his first collection of essays: the first edition of 1841 that was published as Essays and the second edition of 1847 published as Essays: First Series. The change of name was due to a second collection of essays entitled Essays: Second Series being published in 1844.
- Essays: First Series is based on the 1847 or some later edition. For example, the 1847 edition has poems that preface each essay, while in the 1841 edition some of these poems were absent; for example, the essay Prudence had no poem in the 1841 edition. The Note on the Texts section of the Library of America edition of Emerson's essays describes the revisions made in the 1847 edition as "extensive." So Index:Essays (1841).djvu and Essays: First Series are NOT the same and should not be linked as such.
