A Concordance to the Collected Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson Compiled by Eugene F. Irey
remedies, n. (8)
Con 1.320 6 [Conservatism's] religion is just as
bad;...always mitigations, never remedies;...
Mrs1 3.152 25 For the present distress...of those who
are predisposed to
suffer from the tyrannies of this caprice [of society], there are easy
remedies.
NMW 4.251 4 Believe me, [Bonaparte] said...we had
better leave off all
these remedies...
ET13 5.228 24 Religious persons are driven out of the
Established Church
into sects, which instantly rise to credit and hold the Establishment
in
check. Nature has sharper remedies, also
Res 8.147 23 ...in earlier stages of the disorder [good
sense] applies milder
and nobler remedies.
Res 8.148 6 If a good story will not answer, still
milder remedies
sometimes serve to disperse a mob.
FRep 11.525 5 Faults in the working appear in our
system...but they
suggest their own remedies.
CL 12.138 11 [Linnaeus] found that the gout...was cured
by wood-strawberries. He had other remedies.

the defect of our too
great nearness to ourselves.
remedy, n. (31)

suicides. What is
the remedy?

destitution of faith, it is not
strange that society should be...sensualized by unbelief. What remedy?
UGM 4.19 7 Rotation is [nature's] remedy.
UGM 4.19 24 [The great man's] class is extinguished
with him. In some
other and quite different field the next man will appear; not
Jefferson, not
Franklin, but now a great salesman...then a buffalo-hunting explorer,
or a
semi-savage Western general. Thus we make a stand against our rougher
masters; but against the best there is a finer remedy.
MoS 4.176 21 As far as [the power of moods] asserts
rotation of states of
mind, I suppose it suggests its own remedy, namely in the record of
larger
periods.
ET5 5.81 14 ...when [English] courts and parliament are
both deaf, the
plaintiff is not silenced. Calm, patient, his weapon of defence from
year to
year is the obstinate reproduction of the grievance, with calculations
and
estimates. But, meantime, he is drawing numbers and money to his
opinion, resolved that if all remedy fails, right of revolution is at
the bottom of his
charter-box.
ET13 5.228 20 The English Church, undermined by German
criticism...was
led logically back to Romanism. But that was an element which only hot
heads could breathe...and the alienation of such men [the educated

remedy.

blockhead] is yet mild, I
recommend phlegm and truth;...
Bty 6.288 11 The remedy seems never to be far off,
since the first step into
thought lifts this mountain of necessity.
SS 7.7 10 ...there is no remedy that can reach the
heart of the disease but
either habits of self-reliance that should go in practice to making the
man
independent of the human race, or else a religion of love.

error...that the
remedy was, to forbid the great importation of foreign commodities...

the sovereign
remedy against the disgusts of life...
PLT 12.55 1 The natural remedy against this miscellany
of knowledge and
aim...is to substitute realism for sentimentalism;...
CL 12.138 2 When the shipyards were infested with rot,
Linnaeus was sent
to provide some remedy.
PPr 12.381 1 ...Mr. Carlyle very fairly finds the
calamity of the times, not
in bad bills of Parliament, nor the remedy in good bills, but the vice
in false
and superficial aims of the people...
PPr 12.381 2 ...Mr. Carlyle very fairly finds...the
vice [of the times] in false
and superficial aims of the people, and the remedy in honesty and
insight.
remedy, v. (2)
Tran 1.334 24 Do not cumber yourself with fruitless
pains to mend and
remedy remote effects;...

more, and that grieves me, but I cannot remedy it...

MN 1.212 4 Is [man's work in the world] for use? nature
is debased, as if

friends of order

what
a disparity is here!

made the statue of
the youth which stands in the public garden. He was, as I remember,

expect.

me when some
ingenious and spiritual foreigners came to America, was, Have you been
victimized in being brought hither?...

without
encountering inexplicable influences. One man fastens an eye on him
and... the secrets that make him wretched either to keep or to betray
must be
yielded;...and there are persons he cannot choose but remember, who
gave a
transcendent expansion to his thought...
Mrs1 3.154 7 Are you...rich enough to make...even the
poor insane or
besotted wreck of man or woman, feel the noble exception of your
presence
and your house from the general bleakness and stoniness; to make such

back to his own
thoughts, these angels receive him, talk with him...and that this

to be sober, and to
be disposed to believe; for these are the nerves of wisdom.
Mem 12.98 9 The more [the orator] is heated, the wider
he sees; he seems
to remember all he ever knew;...
Mem 12.100 11 ...if [men of great presence of mind]
cannot remember the
