RESIDENCE

Thanks to Robert Sattelraeyer s Thoreau'

Reading we have been able during the two
years since its publication to see the "bibliographical forest" better than the clumps
of trees which comprised the earlier lists
with the happy result that we can now reverse
the binoculars and (to change the figure)
plant some new trees in that forest and clear
away some of the accumulated underbrush. In
one respect a good bibliography is like a
woman's dress never done never definitive
and ever being lengthened or trimmed. That
is both the glory and irony of itl
In this second instalment or "expansion"
of Sattelmeyer s useful work I have continued the method set forth in the first ( ARLR
Ill, 297), hoping to add a third in the future as the next Princeton volumes appear.
Meanwhile, however, much "intelligent guessing" must be undertaken and tested concerning
books and articles Thoreau possibly read,
consulted or skimmed a necessity if we are
to bridge some of the still serious gaps in
the record.
Here are a few of them:
At
(1)
least one page of his borrowings at Harvard
Library has been cut out of the ledgers
possibly at the turn of the century by a collector of literary autographs, thereby denying us proof of several months of significant
reading.
(2) His sophomore and junior withdrawals from the library of the Institute of
1770 are also missing probably destroyed
so that we may never have the evidence of two
years of happy extracurricular reading at the
fraternity in which he debated, "spouted" and
found intellectual companionship among intimate friends.
(3) Only a few loose pages,
moreover, survive of his Harvard commonplace
book (his Index Rerum ) in which he indexed
ideas taken from his reading.
(4) No extant
charging registers in several New York libraries provide traces of his intensive reading
during 1843.
(5) The Concord Town Library,
which for twenty years supplied him with a
remarkable array of periodicals as well as a
complete file of the Massachusetts Historical Society's Collections seems to have kept
no tab on his visits and frequent borrowings,
or, if it originally had check-out papers,
they were probably destroyed when it became
the Concord Free Public Library!
We are
(6)
still largely ignorant of his vast reading
in periodicals and newspapers because we do
not skim as he seems to have done from cover
to cover everything within reach pertinent
Unless we follow his exto his interests.
ample and survey the complete contents of all
periodicals that he handled or ought to have
handled I fear we shall continue ignorant of
much of his profitable reading and miss many
interesting discoveries.

In this connection, I include at the end

of the present study such a scanning of twenty-five volumes of a periodical with which
Thoreau was definitely acquainted from his
Harvard days into his maturity the North
American Review
For whatever it may prove
to be worth I submit it as a hypothetical
bibliography of influences upon his life and
thinking, hoping that it may prove useful or
at least interesting to scholars who may
wrestle sooner or later with the still unedited notebooks on natural phenomena and the
Indians.

Bibliographers charting Thoreau's reading

can profit by carefully evaluating the remarkable holdings of (1) the Concord Atheneurn which Emerson and Thoreau founded in 1841,
(2) the several local libraries which successively served Concord in the first half
of the nineteenth century, (S) the large Circulating Library maintained by Albert Stacy
during its middle years and ( 4) the subscription service which Stacy provided individual
citizens. The following checklist will indicate the wide range of reading materials
which helped achieve for Concord the literary superiority for which it has long been
famous.
