Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Three Outdoor Papers Mr. Stephen Higginson, Jr., a Boston merchant, himself the son of another Boston merchant, who served in the Continental Congress, and descended from one of the earliest founders of the colony of Massachusetts Bay, was appointed, after he had passed middle life, to the stewardship of Harvard College. This office, now known as that of the bursar, required him to live in Cambridge, and represent the treasurer of the college in immediate connection with the student body. Accordingly he removed with his large family to Cambridge, and there was born, December 22, 1823, the youngest of his fifteen children, Thomas Wentworth Higginson. In his delightful volume of personal reminiscences, Cheerful Yesterdays, Mr. Higginson has given a narrative of his youth and training in the college community, then a quiet, isolated country society; for Cambridge was separated from Boston by a wide river, and broad stretches of marshland on its banks increased the separation.
