A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Paxton, Worcester county, Massachusetts, on the 14th of A pril, 1825, and was the fourth of nine children. His father wasS amuel H. Howe, and his mother Elizabeth Hubbard Moore. John Howe, mentioned inS avage sB iographical Dictionary as living in Watertown, and his son, one,, of the principal settlers of Sudbury, petitioner for the grant of Marlboro in 1657, afterward residing there, were the earliest of this branch of the Howe family in A merica. The grandson of John Howe of Marlboro went toP axton in the first part of the eighteenth century, and bought a considerable tract of land, building the house upon it in 1743, where four generations of the family have lived, and which at the present time is in a good state of preservation. This was the birthplace of Dr. Howe, and although his father removed to Leicester, three or four miles distant, when he was but a few years old, the picturesque scenes of hill, woodland and stream had already indelibly impressed his mind. He had a strong imaginative temperament, but it was not developed in a marked degree. In his writings the poetical impulse can often be discerned.
