Edward Everett, Joseph Stevens Buckminster, Ralph Waldo Emerson, George Bancroft, Richard Hildreth, James Russell Lowell, Francis Parkman, Charles Eliot Norton, were all ministers' boys. John Lothrop Motley was the grandson of the clergyman after whom he was named. George Ticknor was next door to such a descent, for his father was a deacon.
Buckminster, you know what I mean; I stood as one arrested I couldn't have moved or not cared if it had been never so I really couldn't. It seemed to me as if he truly was thanking God for the good things that were set before them.

Samuel Cooper Thacher was hardly twenty years old when the "Anthology" was founded, and died when he was only a little more than thirty. He contributed largely to that periodical, besides publishing various controversial sermons, and writing the "Memoir of Buckminster." There was no more brilliant circle than this in any of our cities.
Miss Buckminster told the family, when she went home from church, that there had been a remarkable person with her in the pew, one that she was sure had "a marked character for good or evil." A few days after, the remarkable person came to live in the neighborhood, and was soon introduced to the minister's family as Mr.
