Local Loiterings: And Visits in the Vicinity of Boston (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Local Loiterings: And Visits in the Vicinity of Boston

There are many places of note, too, in the beautiful neighborhood of Boston, pregnant with interest, and hal lowed by association. Cambridge, for instance, with its University and her long list of learned sons, many of whose names shine like stars in the hemisphere of genius. Then there is Breed's hill, with its revolutionary associa tions, and Mount Auburn, with its chastening and pensive influences. Great national establishments, too, are in our neighborhood, each of which will well repay the trouble of a visit. Lowell and its factories are almost at our doors - in short, the material for a busy pen are plenty, and will be used up.' SO much by way of preface. And now having declared my intentions, may I beg the favor of the reader's com pany to mount auburn, which will form the subject of my next paper.
