...there has never been up to this time any picture which preserves at once the peculiar charm of Cambridge itself and a suggestion of Harvard life. At length, however, the long felt want has been met, and Klackner and Co. have just published a beautiful etching of a Cambridge scene by Wm. Goodrich Beal, whose work has been of late so well received. The etching must appeal to all Harvard men, past and present, and at this time particularly, perhaps, to those whose class day is so near at hand, and who wish to keep beside them a pleasant reminder...

The intrigues of Hobomok, the chief of the Wampums with Myles...
...placed by many at the head of descriptive music. The picture is most real and interesting. It is hard to conceive of any one who cannot see the merry-making justices in their joyful dance, the interruption by the storm, and the gradual clearing of the sky. The scene by the brook also gives a glimpse of the woods, with the movement of the water and the music of birds. The composition is one which can be heard often and enjored more at each performance...
