Octavo., hardcover, VG in green cloth, . No dj. 475 deckled pages. an Atlantic Monthly Press Book The story of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and His Family. This is the story of a great American. It is also, because they were an essential part of him, the story of the distinguished men from whom he sprang: his Calvinist grandfather Abiel and his father, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Boston's witty poet, professor of anatomy and Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table. In these three divergent lives the gulf between the generations is poignantly revealed; yet a common strength united them, and together they bear witness to the richness and continuity of American life.
