Abstract
This catalog accompanied the exhibit and provides a permanent record of the Ralph Waldo Emerson bicentenary exhibition at the Thomas Cooper Library. Among the items in this exhibit are manuscripts, letters, first editions, association copies and memorabilia. On display are only a relatively small number of items which are in the Emerson holdings in the larger collection, but make clear the range, depth and quality of the outstanding materials that the Myerson Collection contains.
