    A Concordance to the Collected Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson
    Compiled by Eugene F. Irey

    LVB 11.94 23 On the broaching of this question [of the moral character of government], a general expression of despondency, of disbelief that any good will accrue from a remonstrance on an act of fraud and robbery, appeared in those men to whom we naturally turn for aid and counsel.
    EWI 11.103 10 ...when [the negro] sank in the furrow, no wind of good fame blew over him...
    EWI 11.104 19 ...a good man or woman...once in a while saw these injuries [to West Indian slaves] and had the indiscretion to tell of them.
    EWI 11.116 8 The [West Indian] planters informed us that [the day after emancipation] they went to the chapels where their own people were assembled...and exchanged the most hearty good wishes.
    EWI 11.120 4 ...the great island of Jamaica...resolved...to emancipate absolutely on the 1st August, 1838. In British Guiana, in Dominica, the same resolution had been earlier taken with more good will;...
    EWI 11.120 17 Sir Lionel Smith, the governor, writes to the British Ministry, It is impossible for me to do justice to the good order, decorum and gratitude which the whole laboring population [in Jamaica] manifested on that happy occasion [emancipation].
    EWI 11.127 11 These considerations, I doubt not, had their weight [in emancipation in the West Indies]; the interest of trade, the interest of the revenue, and...the good fame of the action.
    EWI 11.144 11 ...now, the arrival in the world of such men as Toussaint... or of the leaders of [the negro] race in Barbadoes and Jamaica, outweighs in good omen all the English and American humanity.
    EWI 11.147 3 I am sure that the good and wise elders, the ardent and generous youth, will not permit what is incidental and exceptional to withdraw their devotion from the essential and permanent characters of the question [of emancipation].
    War 11.152 24 [Society] presently finds the value of good sense and of foresight...

    War 11.165 3 This happens daily, yearly about us, with half thoughts, often with flimsy lies, pieces of policy and speculation. With good nursing they will last three or four years before they will come to nothing.
    War 11.169 22 ...as far as [the charge of absurdity on the extreme peace doctrine] respects individual action in difficult and extreme cases, I will say, such cases seldom or never occur to the good and just man;...
    War 11.172 4 The attractiveness of war shows one thing...this namely, the conviction of man universally, that...that [a man]...should be himself a kingdom and a state;...quite willing to use the opportunities and advantages that good government throw in his way, but nothing daunted, and not really poorer if government, law and order went by the board;...
    FSLC 11.181 20 The panic [over the Fugitive Slave Law] has paralyzed the journals...so that one cannot open a newspaper without being disgusted by new records of shame. I cannot read longer even the local good news.

    FSLN 11.227 27 ...the decision of Webster [for the Fugitive Slave Law] was accompanied with everything offensive to freedom and good morals.
    FSLN 11.229 26 A barbarous tribe of good stock will, by means of their best heads, secure substantial liberty.
    FSLN 11.232 24 The events of this month are teaching one thing plain and clear, the worthlessness of good tools to bad workmen;...
    FSLN 11.233 6 You relied on the constitution. It has not the word slave in it; and very good argument has shown that it would not warrant the crimes that are done under it;...
    FSLN 11.234 13 If slavery is good, then is lying, theft, arson, homicide, each and all good...

    AsSu 11.249 6 ...in the long time when [Charles Sumner's] election was pending, he refused to take a single step to secure it. He would not so much as go up to the state house to shake hands with this or that person whose good will was reckoned important by his friends.
    AsSu 11.249 20 [Charles Sumner] meekly bore...the pity of the indifferent, cheered by the love and respect of good men with whom he acted;...
    AKan 11.258 15 I esteem [governments] only good in the moment when they are established.

    ACiv 11.302 10 In this national crisis, it is not argument that we want, but that rare courage which dares commit itself to a principle, believing that Nature...will...more than make good any petty and injurious profit which it may disturb.
    ACiv 11.306 9 ...we have too much experience of the futility of an easy reliance on the momentary good dispositions of the public.
    ACiv 11.306 26 Neither do I doubt, is such a composition should take place, that the Southerners will come back quietly and politely, leaving their haughty dictation. It will be an era of good feelings.
    ACiv 11.307 7 ...the North will for a time have its full share and more, in place and counsel. But this will not last;-not for want of sincere good will in sensible Southerners...

    EPro 11.321 9 In times like these...what man can, without shame, receive good news from day to day without giving good news of himself?
    EPro 11.321 10 In times like these...what man can, without shame, receive good news from day to day without giving good news of himself?
    EPro 11.321 14 What right has any one to read in the journals tidings of victories, if he has not bought them by his own valor, treasure, personal sacrifice, or by service as good in his own department?

    SMC 11.370 20 ...Word was sent by General Barnes, that, when we retired, we should fall back under cover of the woods. This order was communicated to Colonel Prescott, whose regiment was then under the hottest fire.

    Wom 11.417 21 ...it would be easy for women to retaliate in kind, by painting men from the dogs and gorillas that have worn our shape. That they have not, is an eulogy on their taste and self-respect. The good easy world took the joke which it liked.
