After two semesters at Yale University, Saltus entered Columbia Law School in 1878, graduating with a law degree in 1880.He wrote two books of philosophy: The Philosophy of Disenchantment (1885) focused on pessimism and in particular the philosophy of Schopenhauer and Eduard Von Hartmann, while The Anatomy of Negation (1886) tried "to convey a tableau of anti-theism from Kapila to Leconte de Lisle".His elder half-brother Francis Saltus Saltus was a minor poet. Both brothers are buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, New York.......... Details ISBN 1718864728 ISBN-13 9781718864726 Title Imperial Purple (1892).
