Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Graduates of Harvard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Vol. 1: 1642-1658 Previously to that time, the preparation Of the copy for the printer, in which I had occasionally rendered some assistance, had usually been made in a few hours. It was only to add the new names and degrees, to prefix stars to the names of the deceased, and to italicize those of ordained ministers; the information being derived chie y from the Commencement programmes and annual catalogues, and the memoranda of a few gleaners to whom inter leaved copies had been sent. The usual course was pursued in preparing the edition of 1842; but particular attention was given to the filling out of the middle names, to the affixing of dates to all the honorary degrees and those out of course, whether conferred by Harvard or other colleges, and to making such corrections and additions as were discovered on a careful examination of the Records of the University. The manuscript memoranda were transferred to an interleaved copy Of the Catalogue Of 1839, and, with the accompanying letters, constituted the nucleus of the collection of materials for these Sketches.

This volume features nearly 500 paintings, watercolors, pastels, and miniatures from Harvard University's storied, yet little-known, collection of American art. These works, many unpublished, are drawn from the Harvard Art Museums, the University Portrait Collection, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, and other entities, and date from the early colonial years to the mid-19th century. Highlights include a rare group of 17th-century portraits, along with important paintings by Robert Feke, John Singleton Copley, Charles Willson Peale, Gilbert Stuart, and Washington Allston, in addition to works depicting western and Native American subjects by Alexandre de Batz, Henry Inman, and Alfred Jacob Miller, among others. Each work is accompanied by scholarly commentary that draws on extensive new research, as well as a complete exhibition and reference history. An introduction by Theodore E. Stebbins Jr. describes the history of the collection. Lavishly illustrated in color, this compendium is a testament to the nation's oldest collection of American art, and an essential resource for scholars and collectors alike.
