Holmes, Oliver Wendell. “One Hundred Days in Europe.”

(Oct.) Atlantic Monthly. In it, Holmes writes, “What better provision can be made for mortal man than such as our own Boston can offer its wealthy children? A palace on Commonwealth Avenue or on Beacon Street; a country-place at Framingham or Lenox; a seaside residence at Nahant, Beverly Farms, Newport, or Bar Harbor; a pew at Trinity or King’s Chapel; a tomb at Mount Auburn or Forest Hills; with the prospect of a memorial stained-window after his lamented demise, – is not that a pretty programme to offer a candidate for human existence?”
