Nice condition antique copy of "HARVARD REMINISCENCES" by Andrew Preston Peabody. 1888 1st edition; Ticknor and Company; Boston. Gilt top page edges. Peabody, an American author and clergyman, entered Harvard at the age of 12 and graduated in 1826 (making him the 2nd youngest Harvard graduate). Please see the photos for the complete list of contents. From the author's Preface: "My purpose in this book is to give my reminiscences of the college officers whose names appeared with mine in the several annual catalogues in which I was registered as undergraduate, theological student, and tutor Of some of these men I have very little, of others much, to say. Much of what I tell, I saw and heard; the rest was derived from authentic sources of information. There were, sixty years ago, associated with the several departments of the University, men who ought not to be forgotten, yet of whose worth and services there remains no record except in the fading memory of their few surviving pupils, as whose self-appointed representative I write. To these biographical notices, I have appended a chapter containing some of my reminiscences of Harvard College as it was during my novitiate as a student."
