William Taylor Newton’s copy, with wrapper retained in the binding. From the Newton/Emerson Collection (part of the CFPL Concord Authors Collection). Gift of Edith Emerson Forbes and Edward Waldo Emerson, 1918. A first printing of the “Divinity School Address,” which triggered the reactionary response of the conservative Andrews Norton, a biblical scholar and professor at the Harvard Divinity School, and resulted in Emerson’s decades-long exile from Harvard.
