Excerpt from Boston Museum of the Fine Arts: A Companion to the Catalogue Museum of the Fine Arts, and on my way encountered my friend starbuck. Starbuck is a fine fellow, one of the suburban country gentlemen who live with dignity, if not much profit, on a handsome farm not many miles from Boston. He belongs to a class I very much respect: like An teus, he seems to gain a wholesome strength from the mere touch of Mother Earth, and I suppose it is providentially arranged that the sweetness and dignity of the life of these farmers should not be compromised by ¿uctuations in the lottery of profit such as only befits the city. The class with us is increasing, and, though for this rural life our climate has discouragements which the more even one of our forefathers does not know, I hope public opinion will fortify their modest ambition by an approbation they cannot neglect.
