Biography

Emerson was born in Boston, Massachusetts,^[3] the son of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Lidian Jackson Emerson, and educated at Harvard, where he graduated in 1866. He graduated from the Harvard Medical School in 1874, and practiced medicine in Concord until 1882, when he received an inheritance and retired from his practice.^[4] He was an instructor in art anatomy at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts from 1885 to 1906.
