, long since discontinued,—in which I, as the orator of the day, was supposed to take a leading part, although in fact I only contributed towards the singing, the speaking, and the payment of the bills. At that time the population of the whole town had expanded to 8409, rather more than one third of this being .in what is now Ward One. It is hard to convey an impression of the smallness of the then Cambridge in all its parts and the fewness of its houses. The house in which I was born in 1823, and which had been built by my father, was that at the head of Kirkland Street, then Professors' Row,—the house now occupied by Mrs. F. C. Batchelder. The field opposite, now covered largely by Memorial Hall, was then an open common, where I remember to have seen the students climbing or swinging on Dr. Charles Follen's outdoor gymnastic apparatus; or perhaps forming to trot away with him at double-quick, their hands clenched at their sides, across the country.

he joined Father Matignon, and aided in the erection of the church on Franklin Street, which was afterwards to be his cathedral, and the first in New England. Generous contributions for this structure were made by Protestant citizens, among others by John Adams, then President of the United States. In 1808 New England was severed from the diocese of Baltimore, Boston was erected into an Episcopal see, and Dr. de Cheverus made its first bishop. He remained in charge of this diocese until 1823, when he returned to his native country as Bishop of Montauban. A few years later he was created Archbishop of Bordeaux, Cardinal and Peer of the Realm. Cardinal Cheverus was a noble and charming character. He was learned, but not pedantic; firm and decided, yet amiable, benign, and meek. He delighted in the company of children, who were his constant companions. A scholar and a polished scion of a noble family, it was his constant practice to go unattended among the poor and sick, look
the boat seems thereafter to have been kept by Mr. Willard. It passes from the records at least, and was no longer a cause for solicitude. The society seems to have been the original Cambridge board of health, and in 1817 it commissioned William Hilliard, Esq., to enquire concerning, and to apply to the Selectmen to cause to be removed, any nuisances which endanger the health of the town. The society had been formed to aid the indigent sick, and after about nine years of experience, in 1823, a feeling arose that perhaps the sphere of action might be widened, and accordingly a committee was appointed to enquire whether any portion of the Society's funds may be appropriated to the use of other persons besides the indigent sick. This committee made a formal report on this, which seemed to be a constitutional question, in the course of which it said:— That upon the organization of the Society, it was considered a primary object to obtain such articles, by way of permanent app
had gained firm foundation. The college catalogue bearing this date was undoubtedly printed at the University Press, and the catalogue of 1805 shows that William Hilliard was in charge of the printing at that time. In 1811 an edition of Dalzel's Collectanea Graeca Majora was printed by the Press. Its imprint shows that Eliab W. Metcalf had become associated with Mr. Hilliard at this time. Two years later, Charles Folsom, a graduate of the class of 1813, and Librarian of the college from 1823 to 1826, became identified with the Press, and his scholarship did much to increase the high reputation it had already gained for accuracy and elegance of workmanship. At this time nearly all the text-books used in the college were printed here. Mr. Folsom became known as the Harvard Aldus, and during his proprietorship books were printed in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, Italian, German, and Spanish. Among other books issued at this time may be mentioned Sparks's edition of Washington's W
