Bronson Alcott writes to Charles Lane in Ham, England:
The Concordians are not quite content it seems with that Boston Massachusetts Quarterly Review, and would have a better or none. [William] Ellery Channing wrote from my room lately a proposition to edit a better for [John] Chapman, and we set down as contributors [Ralph Waldo] Emerson, Thoreau, Channing, [Charles King?] Newcomb, Alcott, on our side, with [James Anthony?] Froude, [Arthur Hugh] Clough, [Henry Septimus] Sutton, Lane, and some Oxonians whom Emerson writes of on yours.
