The subject of age has ever been one which has attracted human thought. It
leads us so near to the great mysteries that all thinkers have contemplated
it, and many are the writers who from the literary point of view have
presented us, sometimes with profound thought, often with beautiful images
connected with the change from youth to old age. We need but to think of two
books familiar more or less to us all, that ancient classic, Cicero's De
Senectute, the great book on age, one might almost say, from the literary
standpoint, and that of our own fellow-citizen, my former teacher and
professor at the Medical School, Dr. Holmes, who in his delightful 'Autocrat'
offers to us some of his charming speculations upon age.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
