| | Margaret Fuller - Philosopedia |
 | | Margaret was his eldest child, and before she was nine she studied Greek, French, and Italian as well as read Vergil, Cicero, Horace, Livy, and Tacitus. |
 | | Her Fuller grandfather had been a minister who lost his pulpit because, in the words of critic Millicent Bell, “he was suspected of insufficient zeal for the Revolution” and who later refused to vote for the ratification of the new Federal constitution “because it implicitly sanctioned slavery.” |
 | | Fuller was a Unitarian who, unlike the deists, thought that God is immanent in man and nature, that individual intuition is the highest source of knowledge, and that individualism, self-reliance, and rejection of traditional authority are keys to humankind’s happiness. |
