Excerpt from The Cambridge of Eighteen Hundred and Ninety-Six: A Picture of the City and Its Industries Fifty Years After Its Incorporation; Done by Divers Hands The chapters of this book may be considered monographs. Various loving hands have described those features which they in their intimate acquaintance with the different matters have thought best. They have left to the Editor the agreeable task of making for them the bow that good manners demand. The Editor wishes to disclaim the honor of planning the book, and the much more serious labor of selecting the writers and gather ing the papers. Those duties have fallen to the Chairman of the Committee. With what success they have been performed, the reader will judge. It is not for a Cambridge man to say that it is seldom possible to convene such an assemblage of writers from the citizenship of a single city. The interest in this volume has not by any means been con fined to Cambridge. When The Cambridge of 1776 was prepared by the present Editor, Mr. Howells, at that time editor of The Atlantic, made a graceful contribution, and when he was offered the Opportunity to repeat his good deed, he expressed himself as filled with such admiration of the place of his former abode that he would like to write the whole book himself!
