    INTRODUCTION

    SUPPLEMENT

    TWO

    Thanks

    *

    s

    Thoreau'

    Reading

    we

    have been

    able during

    the two

    years

    since

    its publication

    to see

    the

    bib-

    liographical

    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 contin-

    ued the

    method set

    forth

    in

    the

    first

    (

    ARLR

    .

    Ill,

    297),

    hoping

    to add

    a

    third

    in

    the

    fu-

    ture

    as

    the next Princeton volumes

    appear.

    Meanwhile,

    however,

    much

    intelligent

    guess-

    ing

    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:

    (1)

    At

    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

    col-

    lector of literary autographs, thereby deny-

    ing

    us

    proof

    of several months

    of

    significant

    reading.

    (2)

    His

    sophomore and

    junior with-

    drawals 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

    intim-

    ate

    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 libra-

    ries 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

    Histori-

    cal 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

    (6)

    We are

    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

    to

    his

    interests.

    Unless

    we

    follow

    his

    ex-

    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

    twen-

    ty-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
