NATIONAL STUDIES IN AMERICAN
LETTERS
Old Cambridge
BY
THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON
Cloth. 12mo. Price $1.25
“... Some charmingly reminiscent pages, having for their subject the three authors most widely associated with Old Cambridge,—Holmes, Longfellow, and Lowell; and their pleasant gossip makes up the major part of the volume, which is altogether a most enjoyable and valuable one.”—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
“It is just the sort of book that one would expect from the author, graceful in form, abounding in the genuine atmosphere of the old university town, full of pleasant personal anecdotes and reminiscences of the Cambridge of forty or fifty years ago. Many great figures pass across the stage, with nearly all of whom Colonel Higginson was personally acquainted; and this intimacy gives the book a charming flavor.”—Brooklyn Life.
“The book contains material to be had nowhere else, for it is a commentary on the side history of a great epoch in American letters, written by one who had a place in it.”—San Francisco Argonaut.
“What he has to tell will be interesting to every person who honors New England and sets store by her literature. The book is steeped in the Attic dew of which the Cambridge cicadas were fond; it has a smack of ambrosia,—American ambrosia,—and its leaves rustle with the unmistakable Parnassian suggestion—a Puritan Parnassus to be sure.... The Cambridge he dwells upon is the Cambridge of the Boston circle of poets, philosophers, politicians, reformers, scholars, statesmen, preachers, and divine cranks. He sketches everything and everybody freely, swiftly, and lightly.”—Independent.

Brook Farm
ITS MEMBERS, SCHOLARS, AND VISITORS
By LINDSAY SWIFT
Cloth. 16mo. Price $1.25
CONTENTS
The Transcendental Club—Brook Farm—The School and Its Scholars—The Members—The Visitors—The Closing Period—Bibliography—Index
“Mr. Swift ... deals with the experimenters rather than with the experiments ... and with the influence of the life at Brook Farm upon the individuality of its members.”—The Mail and Express.
“Mr. Lindsay Swift takes up and describes very amply the most romantic, interesting, and far-reaching movement in the history of American literature—the story of Brook Farm.”—Times Saturday Review.
“The book has a value apart from its delineation of Brook Farm.... It ought to be widely and carefully read, especially where ... socialistic notions are gaining many adherents, for it will aid the young enthusiast to define what may be and what cannot be for a very long century at least.”—The Outlook.
