Fortune of the Republic is a lecture delivered by the renowned American philosopher and writer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, at the Old South Church on March 30th, 1878. In this lecture, Emerson discusses the concept of fortune and its relationship to the success and prosperity of the American republic. He explores the idea that the fortune of a nation is not simply based on material wealth, but also on the moral and intellectual character of its citizens. Emerson argues that the true strength of America lies in its people, who possess a unique spirit of individualism and self-reliance. He also emphasizes the importance of education and the cultivation of wisdom and virtue in the pursuit of a prosperous and just society. Throughout the lecture, Emerson draws on examples from history and literature to illustrate his points and inspire his audience. He concludes with a call to action, urging his fellow citizens to take responsibility for the fate of their country and to work towards creating a more perfect union. Overall, Fortune of the Republic is a thought-provoking and inspiring work that explores the deeper meaning of American exceptionalism and the role of individual character in the success of a nation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
