Covering his life from age twelve to 22 and dealing mostly with his Harvard years, the entries are often solemn commentary on his vast reading, but there are also vivid accounts of drinking bouts, billiard games, and pretty girls who powerfully affected him: "Women have acted upon me by a voluptuous manner, to which I am unfortunately peculiarly susceptible." In a hurry to get married, he was balked by his elders until...
