Scrapbook compiled by the sister of Samuel Tenney Hildreth, 1839-ca. 1860.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77070019

This scrapbook has a few notices about Samuel Tenney Hildreth's death, some of his manuscript poems and essays, and some material relating to Harvard's Class of 1837, but it chiefly contains newspaper clippings, many of which are poems. The prose supports morality, good character, patriotism, and other transparently virtuous ideals; the poems express largely maudlin sentiments, chiefly about love and death. Many of the clippings are identified as being from the Transcript, which may indicate the Boston Daily Evening Transcript. A few clippings are about Exeter, New Hampshire and a few are about the Ontario Female Seminary [in Canandaigua, New York].
