“I was able to read it through yesty afternoon and so return it with many thanks. It is good—but not, to my mind, half as good as the Mirabeau.”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. I. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1983.

Hudspeth identified "it" as Carlyle's essay "The Diamond Necklace" from Fraser's Magazine (January–February 1837), which Emerson sent Fuller bound together with the Mirabeau essay.
