EDWARD AUGUSTUS HOLYOKE.
Dr. Edward Augustus Holyoke, a physician of Salem, was born in Marblehead, August I, (old style, eighteenth century; new style, August 12), 1728, and died in Salem, March 31, 1829, in his one hundred and first year. His funeral took place April 4 following, at the North Church, and the Rev. John Brazier delivered an appropriate and interesting dis- course.

BOSTON AND EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS.
He was noted for his various excellencies, as well as for his longevity. His father was a president of Harvard College, and the son was a graduate of that college in 1746. Fle was a diarist, and preserved in handwriting many interesting things regarding the customs and peculiarities of a very early generation. His record is also valuable as an account of the weather. He recorded the fact that in 1732 "very broad-brimmed hats were worn:" his father had a beaver whose brims were at least seven inches ; they were all cocked triangularly. Pulling them off, by way of saluatation, was the invariable fashion of all who had any breeding. In 1748 he notes the fact of a deep snow. In 1738, "square-toed shoes were going out of fashion." He began practice in 1749. In 1755 he gives an account of the notable earthquake of November 18. In 1757, he records the event of "very cold weather." He had a case of "spotted fever" in his charge, 1761. In 1768 he records, "Points put up ;" referring to early lightning rods. In 1783 he was elected a ruling elder of the North Church. In 1788 he received information from Dr. Priestly about the manufacture of saleratus.
He remembered a temporary monument to Lady Arbella Johnson, who deceased in 1630, which once stood in a later neglected cemetery in Salem. In 1801 he was interested in the new enterprise of building a turnpike. In 1827 President Adams (ex-President John Q. Adams) visited him. In 1828 the centennial of the event of his birth was observed in Salem, on August 13, by about fifty physicians, who had a public dinner in his honor, of which one has said: "Though one hundred years old he appeared among them with a firm step and a cheerful look;" and "the compliment (so in- tended for him) was richly deserved."
In conclusion it may be remarked that he was the son of President Edward Holyoke, of Harvard College. He was the first person on whom the degree of doctor of medicine was conferred by that college, and he afterwards received the degree of doctor of laws. He was the first president of the Massachusetts Medical Society, among the original members of the American Academy of Arts and Sci- ences, and at one time its president. He was at the time of his death the president of the Salem Athenaeum, the Essex Historical Soci- ety, of the Salem Savings Bank, and of the Salem Dispensary.
He was still so vigorous on his one hundredth birthday that when the morning came he rose, dressed, shaved himself without assistance,
and walked to the Essex House, where the dinner was given. He published many medi- cal articles in the reviews of his profession, and scientific papers in the "Memoirs of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences." "He possessed great repose of body and spirit, and that balance of powers which usually at- tends longevity."-(G. B. Loring. )

CALEB CUSHING.
Caleb Cushing, of Newburyport, was born in Salisbury, Massachusetts, January 17, 1800, and died in Newburyport, January 2, 1879.
Mr. Cushing graduated in 1817 at Harvard College, where he was a tutor 1820-21. He was admitted to the bar in 1822. He began the practice of the law in Newburyport ; was a representative in the Massachusetts legislature in 1825,-'26,-'33,-'34,-'50,-'58 .- '59; and a rep- resentative in congress from 1835 to 1843. From 1843 to 1845 he was United States min- ister to China, where he negotiated the famous treaty with the nation ; from 1852 to 1853 he
35
BOSTON AND EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS.
was judge of the supreme judicial court of Massachusetts; and from 1853 to 1857 attor- ney-general of the United States. In 1873 he was counsel for the United States before the Geneva arbitration. From 1874-1877 he was Minister to Spain. On the 15th day of Janu- ary, 1847, he was commissioned colonel of the Massachusetts regiment, and led it to Mexico. While serving there, April 14, 1847, he was made brigadier-general, and held the office through the war till July 20, 1848. He was the first mayor of Newburyport, 1851-52.
He was the author of "History of Newbury- port," 1826; "Principles of Political Econ- omy," 1826; "Reminiscences of Spain," 1833: "Review of the Late Revolution in France," 1833; "Life of William H. Harrison," 1840; "The Treaty of Washington," 1873; and num- erous orations and speeches and other works. His wife, Caroline W. Cushing, was author of "Letters on Public Monuments, Manners, etc .. in France and Spain," two volumes, 1832.
Mr. Cushing married, November 23, 1824. Caroline Elizabeth, daughter of the Hon. Samuel S. Wilde, judge of the supreme court of Massachusetts. She was born April 26, 1802, and died without issue, August 28, 1832.
In his death his native state and the nation lost a man who for more than half a century was distinguished for his learning and elo- quence. As legislator and diplomatist, and man of letters, he contributed largely to the literature of his time. He was noted for his conversational powers and forensic talents : and the knowledge of modern languages ; and probably "no other man in this country, with the exception of John Quincy Adams, ever brought so much real knowledge to the trans- action of business, while his versatility and readiness were equal to his attainments.'
Another estimate of his character by a local biographical writer will be read with interest in connection with the above notice, since in it a very pertinent account is given of the peculiar nature of his attainments. He was one, it says, who in his varied acquirements and duties made himself easily the leader in this respect in the place of his birth and residence, which from the first was a town, whose sons, daughters and citizens were eminent in letters and active life as statesmen, orators, poets, jurists, clergymen, inventors, and merchants. It was one of the least of Massachusetts cities in territory and population, and Cushing's career from its beginning to its close presented so many sides and angles, so many lights and shadows, so much skill and genius, that it has
been compared to the geometrical figure called a polygon ; and he in deeds and words through a long life and under varied circumstances verified the adage, not always true as a general rule, that he was great in everything-a scholar of lofty attainments ; an author and an orator equally expert with pen or voice : a lawyer, profound on the bench, attractive at the bar, and celebrated as a minister of justice; as attorney-general for the country uttering opin- ions which nations were bound to respect ; the contemporary of Webster. John Quincy Adams and Charles Sumner, and by many re- garded as their compeer ; a diplomatist of high rank-before the Geneva tribunal to arbitrate the Alabama claims, no matter where he was placed, or what he was to do, he was equal to the occasion.
We must omit here the account of his early life: must say only, in passing, that he sur- prised the King of Spain by his facility in speaking the Spanish language ; that he spent months in the practice of the pronunciation of foreign tongues, in order that he might be per- fect ; that he entered the army actively engaged in the war with Mexico, under a wave of un- popularity on the part of his Northern fellow- citizens, but this he lived down; that he be- lieved in the extension of the natural boundary of the United States to the Pacific Ocean, at a time when that idea was new. He has been called a living encyclopedia ; travel and inter- course had made him familiar with facts of a very extensive range. It is also said of him that he astonished foreigners by his knowledge of their language. His knowledge of books and their contents was extraordinary. He read Webster's Unabridged Dictionary through when it first appeared, marked the errors and mistakes, and this as a labor of love. He read, on one occasion to inform himself, fifty-seven volumes of Massachusetts Law Reports ; and this he finished in nineteen consecutive days. These statements illustrate to some extent the amount of labor of which he was capable, and his energy in fitting himself for his duties, legal or secular.
