these [Transcendentalists] must. The question which a wise man and a
student of modern history will ask, is, what that kind is?
Tran 1.344 19 [The Transcendentalists'] quarrel with
every man they meet
is not with his kind, but with his degree.
Tran 1.354 15 ...it will please us to reflect that
though we had few virtues
or consolations, we bore with our indigence, nor once strove to repair
it
with hypocrisy or false heat of any kind.
YA 1.368 20 In America we have hitherto little to boast
in this kind [of
beautiful gardens].
YA 1.378 2 [Trade] calls out all force of a certain
kind that slumbered in
the former dynasties.
YA 1.378 7 Trade goes...to bring every kind of faculty
of every individual
that can in any manner serve any person, on sale.
YA 1.379 2 ...the aristocracy of trade...was...the
result of merit of some
kind...

whatever kind, sets us

Fdsp 2.201 6 ...I leave, for the time, all account of
subordinate social
benefit [of friendship], to speak of that select and sacred relation

other country.
OS 2.275 17 ...there is a kind of descent and
accommodation felt when we
leave speaking of moral nature to urge a virtue which it enjoins.
OS 2.282 7 A certain tendency to insanity has always
attended the opening
of the religious sense in men, as if they had been blasted with excess
of
light. The trances of Socrates...the illumination of Swedenborg, are of
this
kind.
OS 2.292 13 ...[men's] plainest advice is a kind of
praising.
Pt1 3.8 20 ...actions are a kind of words.

Mrs1 3.120 18 ...the salt, the dates, the ivory, and
the gold, for which these
horrible regions are visited, find their way into...countries where
man... establishes a select society...which, without written laws or
exact usage of
any kind, perpetuates itself...
Mrs1 3.128 2 ...[fashion] is a kind of posthumous
honor.
Mrs1 3.130 25 [Fashion's] doors unbar instantaneously
to a natural claim
of their own kind.
Mrs1 3.131 15 There is almost no kind of
self-reliance...which fashion does
not occasionally adopt and give it the freedom of its saloons.
Mrs1 3.153 18 Everything that is called fashion and
courtesy humbles itself
before...the heart of love. This is the royal blood, this the fire,
which...will
work after its kind and conquer and expand all that approaches it.
Gts 3.161 26 This is...a false state of property, to
make presents of gold and
silver stuffs, as a kind of symbolical sin-offering...
Nat2 3.175 25 The muse herself betrays her son [the
poor young poet], and
enhances the gifts of wealth and well-born beauty by a radiation out of
the
air, and clouds, and forests that skirt the road,--a certain haughty
favor, as if
from patrician genii to patricians, a kind of aristocracy in nature...
Nat2 3.177 2 A susceptible person does not like to
indulge his tastes in this
kind [in passive nature] without the apology of some trivial
necessity...
Nat2 3.190 19 The hunger for wealth...fools the eager
pursuer. What is the
end sought? Plainly to secure the ends of good sense and beauty from
the
intrusion of deformity or vulgarity of any kind.
Pol1 3.197 7 Boded Merlin wise,/ Proved Napoleon
great,--/ Nor kind nor

Pol1 3.218 12 Most persons of ability meet in society

what should be the
average of that thing.

performances, in comparing them with his belief of what he should
do;...
UGM 4.5 23 Each man seeks those of different quality
from his own, and
such as are good of their kind;...
UGM 4.14 2 I cannot even hear of personal vigor of any

fresh resolution.
UGM 4.18 5 The perception of these laws [of identity

kind of metre of the mind.
PPh 4.56 24 To the study of nature [Plato]...prefixes
the dogma, Let us

the universe. He was good; and he who is good has no kind of envy.
PPh 4.65 22 ...in the Republic [Plato says],--By each
of these disciplines a
certain organ of the soul is both purified and reanimated which is
blinded
and buried by studies of another kind;...
PPh 4.69 26 When an artificer, [Plato] says, in the
fabrication of any work, looks to that which always subsists according
to the same; and, employing a
model of this kind, expresses its idea and power in his work,--it must
follow
that his production should be beautiful.

SwM 4.116 14 ...if we choose to express any natural
truth in physical and
definite vocal terms [says Swedenborg], and to convert these terms only
into the corresponding and spiritual terms, we shall...elicit a
spiritual truth
or theological dogma, in place of the physical truth or precept:
although no
mortal would have predicted that any thing of the kind could possibly
arise
by bare literal transposition;...
SwM 4.144 14 The entire want of poetry in so
transcendent a mind [as
Swedenborg's]...like a hoarse voice in a beautiful person, is a kind of
warning.
MoS 4.166 4 Here is an impatience and fastidiousness at
color or pretence
of any kind.
NMW 4.227 14 All distinguished engineers, savans,
statists, report to [a

troops and
diplomatists, and required that each should do after its kind.
NMW 4.235 21 We like to see every thing do its office
after its kind...
NMW 4.237 17 In one of his conversations with Las
Casas, [Napoleon] remarked, As to moral courage, I have rarely met with
the two-o'clock-in-the-
morning kind...
NMW 4.238 24 It was a whimsical economy of the same
kind which
dictated [Bonaparte's] practice, when general in Italy, in regard to
his
burdensome correspondence.
GoW 4.262 8 In man, the memory is a kind of
looking-glass...
GoW 4.268 13 It is not from men excellent in any kind

Talleyrand...all that the common-sense of mankind asks.

able, so only
that he is able.
GoW 4.277 21 Wilhelm Meister is a novel in every sense,

to depend on the kind
of man than British prosperity.

separation of a class of priests, and create opportunity and
expectation in

ET13 5.226 17 ...when wealth accrues to a chaplaincy, a
bishopric, or
rectorship, it requires moneyed men for its stewards, who will give it
another direction than to the mystics of their day. Of course, money
will do

sublime

integrity are frightfully diminished;...
Wth 6.99 4 If properties of this kind [works of art]
were owned by states, towns and lyceums, they would draw the bonds of
neighborhood closer.
Wth 6.104 14 An apple-tree, if you take out every day
for a number of days
a load of loam and put in a load of sand about its roots, will find it
out. An
apple-tree is a stupid kind of creature, but if this treatment be
pursued for a
short time I think it would begin to mistrust something.
Wth 6.108 5 You dismiss your laborer, saying, Patrick,
I shall send for you
as soon as I cannot do without you. Patrick goes off contented, for he
knows that...however unwilling you may be, the canteloupes, crook-necks
and cucumbers will send for him. Who but must wish that all labor and
value should stand on the same simple and surly market? If it is the
best of
its kind, it will.
Wth 6.124 6 Another point of economy is to look for

Wth 6.124 7 Another point of economy is to look for

Bty 6.284 19 The boy is not attracted [to science]. He
says, I do not wish to

Bty 6.284 25 Our reliance on the physician is a kind of
despair of ourselves.
Bty 6.296 20 Nature wishes that woman should attract
man, yet she often
cunningly moulds into her face a little sarcasm, which seems to say,
Yes, I
am willing to attract, but to attract a little better kind of man than
any I yet
behold.
Bty 6.298 20 ...short legs which constrain us to short,
mincing steps are a

kind of fear.
Civ 7.31 18 ...the true test of civilization is...the

turns out.
Elo1 7.69 21 The virtue of books is to be readable, and
of orators to be
interesting; and this is a gift of Nature; as Demosthenes, the most
laborious
student in that kind, signified his sense of this necessity when he
wrote, Good Fortune, as his motto on his shield.
Elo1 7.75 5 These accomplishments [of eloquence] are of
the same kind, and only a degree higher than the coaxing of the
auctioneer...
Elo1 7.93 23 Eloquence must be grounded on the plainest

Farm 7.140 2 This hard work [of the farm] will always
be done by one
kind of man;...
WD 7.159 24 Lord Chancellor Thurlow thought [steam]
might be made to
draw bills and answers in chancery. If that were satire, yet it is
coming to

Boks 7.189 22 ...after reading to weariness the
lettered backs [of books], we...learn, as I did without surprise of a
surly bank director, that in bank
parlors they estimate all stocks of this kind as rubbish.
Boks 7.201 3 ...Plato's [delineation of Athenian
manners] has merits of
every kind...
Cour 7.260 9 One heard much cant of peace-parties long
ago in Kansas and
elsewhere, that their strength lay in the greatness of their wrongs...
But
were their wrongs greater than the negro's? And what kind of strength
did
they ever give him?
Cour 7.268 17 There is a courage in the treatment of
every art by a master
in architecture...in painting or in poetry...which yet nowise implies
the
presence of physical valor in the artist. This is the courage of
genius, in
every kind.
Suc 7.286 22 Our civilization is made up of a million
contributions of this
kind.
Suc 7.288 12 These [American] feats have to be sure
great difference of
merit, and some of them involve power of a high kind.
Suc 7.289 13 Egotism is a kind of buckram that gives
momentary strength
and concentration to men...
Suc 7.297 2 There is no...great material wealth of any
kind, but if you trace
it home, you will find it rooted in a thought of some individual man.
Suc 7.302 26 I am always, [Socrates] says, asserting
that I happen to know... nothing but a mere trifle relating to matters
of love; yet in that kind of
learning I lay claim to being more skilled than any one man of the past
or
present time.
PI 8.8 1 Anatomy, osteology, exhibit arrested or
progessive ascent in each
kind;...
PI 8.11 8 ...Nature was called a kind of adulterated
reason.
PI 8.12 13 A figurative statement...is remembered and
repeated. How often
has a phrase of this kind made a reputation.
PI 8.19 5 In the presence and conversation of a true
poet, teeming with
images to express his enlarging thought, his person, his form, grows
larger
to our fascinated eyes. And thus begins that deification which all
nations
have made of their heroes in every kind...
PI 8.41 26 ...the poet sees...the large effect of laws
which correspond to the
inward laws which he knows, and so are but a kind of extension of
himself.
PI 8.51 24 Rhyme, being a kind of music, shares this
advantage with music, that it has a privilege of speaking truth...

smoke...
SA 8.92 22 Virtues speak to virtues, vices to
vices,--each to their own kind
in the people with whom we deal.
Elo2 8.111 1 I do not know any kind of history, except

self-supplying organs wither
and dwindle...
QO 8.189 15 The capitalist of either kind [mental or

hungry to lend as the consumer to borrow;...
PC 8.233 1 We have suffered our young men of ambition
to play the game
of politics and take the immoral side without loss of caste,-to come

without rebuke. But that kind of loose association does not leave a man
his
own master.
PPo 8.239 20 When the bard improvised an amatory ditty,
the young [Bedouin] chief's excitement was almost beyond control. The

Bedouins were scarcely less moved by these rude measures, which have

Dem1 10.3 6 The name Demonology covers dreams, omens,
coincidences, luck, sortilege, magic and other experiences
which...deserve notice chiefly
because every man has usually in a lifetime two or three hints in this

kind of claim to sympathy and brotherhood.
Dem1 10.7 27 ...we...owe to dreams a kind of divination

MoL 10.242 25 Every kind of skill was in demand...
Schr 10.280 27 The objection of men of the world to

would be too strong...for that kind of obscure virtue which is so rich
to lay

SlHr 10.443 4 I used to feel that [Samuel Hoar's]

Thor 10.481 4 [Thoreau's] study of Nature...inspired
his friends with
curiosity to see the world through his eyes, and to hear his

Thor 10.485 1 It seems...a kind of indignity to so

FSLC 11.195 15 By law of Congress September, 1850, it
is a high crime

and
murder to enslave him. On soundings, it is fine and prison not to
reenslave. What kind of legislation is this?
