Additional Details

Inscribed by the author to Orestes A. Brownson, a leader of the Transcendentalist movement who had emphatically renounced the movement for Catholicism in 1844. As the author was writing from the Unitarian-Transcendentalist tradition, we might imagine the gift was not entirely welcome.
