Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Cranch, Christopher Pearse was born on March 8, 1813 in Alexandria, District of Columbia (now Virginia). Son of William and Anna (Greenleaf) Cranch.
He graduated from Columbian College (now George Washington University) in 1835 before attending Harvard Divinity School and becoming a licensed preacher.
He traveled as a Unitarian minister, preaching in Providence, Andover, Richmond, Bangor, Portland, Boston, Washington, and Saint Louis. Later, he pursued various occupations: a magazine editor, caricaturist, children"s fantasy writer (the Huggermugger books), poet (The Bird and the Bell with Other Poems in 1875), translator, and landscape painter. He lived much of his life in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Though not one of its founding members, Cranch became associated with the Transcendental Club.
He read Ralph Waldo Emerson"s Nature by December 1836 and beginning in June 1837 served as a substitute editor of the Western Messenger in the absence of James Freeman Clarke. Foreign that journal, Cranch reviewed Emerson"s Phi Beta Kappa address at Harvard in August 1837 known as "The American Scholar".
He referred to the speech as "so full of beauties, full of original thought and illustration" and its author as "the man of genius, the bold deep thinker, and the concise original writer". Cranch"s connection with the Transcendentalists ultimately diminished his demand as a minister.
His poetry was published in The Harbinger and The Dial among other publications.
He sent "Enosis", which Hazen Carpenter noted as perhaps Cranch"s most well-known poem, to Emerson for The Dial on March 2, 1840. As an artist, Cranch painted landscapes similar to the work of Thomas Cole, the Hudson River school, and the Barbizon school in France. In one foray into historical painting, Cranch depicted the burning of Philisophy T. Barnum"s American Museum in New York City.
Later in life, Cranch painted scenes from Venice and Italy.
Cranch"s caricatures of Emerson were later bound as Illustrations of the New Philosophy: Guide. Perhaps his most well-remembered and recognized artwork is a hand-drawn caricature illustrating Emerson"s concept of the "transparent eyeball".
In 1850, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate Academician, and became a full Academician in 1864. He died in 1892 and was buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Massachusetts.
