CAMBRIDGE: STEREOTYPED AND PRINTED BY JOHN WILSON AND SON. то GEORGE TICKNOR, ESQ. MY DEAR TICKNOR,— In a note received from you a short time since, you kindly advert to the youthful days when "we lay on the carpet, and read Homer together." Since that now distant period, you have remained loyal to your first attachment, dividing it only with the more recent literature, which you have largely cultivated and signally adorned. If I seem to be recreant to the pleasing associations of those times, it is because I am swept along with the progress of the age, and have become disciplined in some measure to replace delightful visions with more arduous and growing realities. BOSTON, April 15, 1867. Your early and late friend, JACOB BIGELOW. |
