He was but three years old when his father removed to Boston, where he was fitted for college in the Public Latin School, the nursery of so many eminent men. On the seventeenth of June, 1825, when Lafayette laid the cornerstone of the monument on Bunker Hill, when Daniel Webster delivered one of the most famous of his orations, Fletcher Webster, then twelve years old, was present.

You realize, I hope, the frame of mind in which the Cardinal-Prince took his way through that luminous, fragrant summer night towards the Grove of Venus. He went to lay the cornerstone of the proud edifice of his ambitions. To him it was a night of nights a night of gems, he pronounced it, looking up into the jewelled vault of heaven.
