"Within man is the soul of the whole; The wise silence; The universal beauty."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays

Essays: First Series (1841) is a collection of essays drafted early in Emerson's career as a writer.

This collection contains the following twelve essays: "Art," "Circles," "Compensation," "Friendship," "Heroism," "History," "Intellect," "Love," "Prudence," "Self-Reliance," "Spiritual Laws," and "The Over-Soul."
