Description and Table of Contents

Description

Anna Cabot Lowell Quincy (1812-1899) was a discerning 21-year-old woman of privilege. Although she was respectful in polite comapny, the diary she kept during the summer of 1833 reveals a trenchant and amused view of the affectation of the Harvard community, as well as upper-class Boston life.
