520 |a "This is the story of a great American. It is also, because they were an essential part of him, the story of the distinguished men from whom he sprang: his Calvinist grandfather Abiel and his father, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Boston's witty power, professor of anatomy and "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table." In these three divergent lives the gulf between the generations is poignantly revealed; yet a common strength united them, and together they bear witness to the richness and continuity of American life." --  |c Book Cover
