Contains two of his most celebrated poems, "The Deacon's Masterpiece or The Wonderful One-Hoss Shay" and "The Chambered Nautilus." The Autocrat originated with two early essays published under that title in the New England Magazine in 1831 and 1832. Holmes reused the title 25 years later, publishing the new series of conversational essays in the first 12 numbers of The Atlantic Monthly before they were gathered here in book form.
