Chapter 1: old Cambridge
Old Cambridge, as it was formerly called, to distinguish it from the later settlements called East Cambridge and Cambridgeport, is one of the few American towns that may be said to have owed their very name and existence to the pursuits of letters.
Laid out originally by Governor John Winthrop as a fortified town,--furnished soon after with a pallysadoe, of which the large willows on Holmes's Field are the last lingering memorial,--it might nevertheless have gone e, for their period, remarkable; as that of Professor Convers Francis, rich in theology and in general literature; that of George Livermore, devoted especially to Bibles and Biblical literature; and that of Thomas Dowse, a leather-dresser in Cambridgeport, whose remarkable historical collections were bequeathed to the Massachusetts Historical Society.
At a time when the Harvard Library held but forty thousand books, these collections had a relative importance which they would not now possess.
