He was born in 1791, in Charlestown, Massachusetts. His father was a learned minister, who "was always thinking, always writing, always talking, always acting"; and his mother was a woman of noble character, who inspired her son with lofty purpose. When he was seven he went to Andover, Massachusetts, to school, and still later entered Phillips Academy in the same town.

"Every day adds to the number of those who agree with you", is the confirmatory testimony of Dana, trustee of Andover and former president of Dartmouth. "The effect of your speech begins to be felt", wrote ex-Mayor Eliot of Boston.

Little puffs of smoke and dust were rising from beyond the wall, and on the heavy air came the faint ping-ping of rifles. Andover stretched himself elaborately. "Lord alive, but this is absurd.
