the Thoreau Log.
16 December 1854.

New York, N.Y. The National Anti-Slavery Standard reviews Walden and A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers.

Cambridge?, Mass. Franklin B. Sanborn writes in his journal:

  After Lowell and Dwight went the talk fell into one channel again—first about Thoreau—whom Mr Alcott described much as he did on Tuesday. Dana had not read him—but had supposed him a man of abstractions altogether—Mr A—quoted what Dr [Thaddeus W.] Harris said of him—”If Emerson had not spoilt him he would have made a good—naturalist.”
(Transcendental Climate, 215)
