Cambridge Sketches is a book written by Frank Preston Stearns, which provides a vivid and insightful portrayal of the city of Cambridge. The book contains a collection of sketches that offer a unique perspective on the people, places, and events that have shaped the city's history and culture. Stearns' writing style is engaging and informative, and he covers a wide range of topics, including the founding of Harvard University, the Revolutionary War, and the city's literary and artistic heritage. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Cambridge, as well as those who enjoy reading about the rich cultural heritage of American cities. Stearns' passion for his subject matter is evident throughout the book, and his vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling make Cambridge Sketches a must-read for anyone who loves history, culture, and the art of writing.Doctor Holmes graduated at Harvard in 1829 at the age of twenty. His class has been a celebrated one in Boston, and there were certainly some good men in it, --especially Benjamin Pierce and James Freeman Clarke, -- but I think it was Doctor Holmes's class-poems that gave it its chief celebrity, which, after all, means that it was a good deal talked about.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
