Description:Excerpt from Memoir of Benjamin Peirce, Vol. 18 The birth-place of an eminent man has a certain proprietary interest in his memory and fame. The Chinese, it is said, pay their homage to the progenitors, rather than to the descendants, of the great, and in this they are not wholly wrong; for the accident of birth, the accident of early surroundings, are weighty factors in that complex product which we call greatness. Fifty-six years ago, a boy of sixteen left his home Salem to enter Harvard. He did not set out alone, for his comrades Francis B. Crowninshield, Nathaniel F, Derby, Nicholas and George H. Devereux, and Joshua Holyoke Ward entered the old University from Salem with him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
