Henry David Thoreau Classics: Collected Essays by Henry David Thoreau presents the best of the essays writtne by the author. Thoreau was a keen observer of human society and nature and he left no stone unturned when it came to analyzing the characteristics of the each. His sincere approach to life was his greatest virtue. He was bred to no profession; he never married; he lived alone; he never went to church; he never voted; he refused to pay a tax to the State: he ate no flesh, he drank no wine, he never knew the use of tobacco; and, though a naturalist, he used neither trap nor gun. He chose, wisely, no doubt, for himself, to be the bachelor of thought and Nature. He had no talent for wealth, and knew how to be poor without the least hint of squalor or inelegance.
