“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.
