Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Brookline, Massachusetts, on the odd day, February 29th, 1832. His father was Benjamin Guild, his mother Eliza Eliot, and from both of them he inherited those refined and elevated tastes which come in perfection only through generations of high thinking and feeling. He was the sixth generation from John Guild of Glasgow, who came toD edham in 1636, Edmund Quincy who came to Boston in 1633, Rev. Henry Flynt who came to Boston in 1635, and Governor Thomas Dudley. At his fathers house he was surrounded by an atmosphere of culture and refinement, the visitors there being the distinguished men and women of the day. A few quotations from the reminiscences of his childhood, which he began to write shortly before his death, will give an idea of the influences with which he came in contact.
