Twain also met some real live Transcendentalists when he attended a meeting
of the Radical Club where evolution and transmigration of the soul were
discussed. After the meeting Twain commented that he must have inherited an
old well-used soul. His comments are quoted at length in Mrs John T
Sargent's SKETCHES AND REMINISCENCES OF THE RADICAL CLUB (Boston, 1880).
