...social evolution in San Francisco and the history of California's land troubles and politics. The whole book is exceedingly interesting and entertaining, and is printed in neat form. Especially noticeable to Harvard men is the pleasant way in which the logical mind of the author has stamped its imprint throughout the book in the orderly arrangement of every chapter and paragraph...

She must know nothing of germans, lawn tennis, or the opera; her mind must be as fresh - as fresh - as - as a freshly cleaned blackboard on which I shall stamp the imprint of my superior intellect. She must be a country girl, in fact. I will come and board for the summer months at her father's house; daily I will accompany her to the old oaken bucket, and fill and carry her pail to the house; during the day we will roam hand...
