However, activities in Boston and its environs that provided a focus for the record of the preceding years give way in these volumes to wider scenes made available by train and ship. An extensive journey with his wife by way of the Hudson River and the Eric Canal to Niagara and Canada, a visit of some length and interest in Washington, and stays of lesser length in New York City are recounted.
Wide and persistent reading, the theater, numismatics, and the building of a summer home in Quincy also occupied him and arefully reflected in his journal. Family tragedies are not absent from its pages. As the period comes to its close his long and distinguished labors as editor of the family's papers had begun. A new self-assurance has become evident.
