Author
La Presse is documented in Fuller’s letters and published essays (1845–1847). No work is named in the surviving passages, most often in Letter to Elizabeth Hoar, and the most intensive engagement recorded is “translated”.
Reprints, Memoirs passages, and repeat notes within a single manuscript are shown but never counted twice. Evidence for this author is selective, not exhaustive. Methodology →
