Essays and Other Writings (Classic Reprint)Fb&c Limited, 2017 M11 2 - 300 pages Excerpt from Essays and Other Writings I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil, - to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilisation: the minister and the school committee, and every one of you will take care of that.
