ted, retains Margaret Fuller's original preface and an extract from her Dial essay. Mrs. Wesselhoeft informs me that she revised Miss Fuller's part of the translation, but found nothing to correct save two or three colloquial idioms, pretty sure to be misinterpreted by one not a native of Germany. Margaret Fuller's first original work was the fruit of the only long journey she ever took, in her own country; a summer spent in traveling in what was then called the far West (May 25 to September 19, 1843) with her life-long friends, James Freeman Clarke and his sister Sarah, under the guidance of their brother, William H.

But can't you tell anything they said? For some time he insisted that he could not, but being unmercifully urged, he at last said, L. divided man into three states; the disconscious, the conscious, and the unconscious. The disconscious is the state of a pig; the conscious is the baptism by water; and the unconscious is the baptism by fire. I laughed, and said, Well, how did the whole discussion affect your mind? Why, after I had heard them talk a few minutes, replied he, I'll
