In this lecture Smith recounts her experiences as a lyceum lecturer in Concord, Mass. and as a guest in Emerson's household for several weeks during the winter of 1852. Included are lengthy, admiring descriptions of Emerson's character; anecdotes of Henry David Thoreau, A. Bronson Alcott, and life in Emerson's household; and accounts of Emerson's views on genius, Edgar Allan Poe, and other topics. Portions of this manuscript have been published in <em render=\"underline\">Selections from the Autobiography of Elizabeth Oakes Smith</em>, ed. Mary Alice Wyman (Lewiston, Me.: Lewiston Journal Co., 1924), p. 134-148.</p>"}
