" If Boston must miss Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes from the public dinner. with his occasional poem that was ever the bonne bouche of the feast, it is to have in Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes an after-dinner orator who, to estimate his powers in this genre from his performance at the last Harvard commencement dinner, and again at the dinner of the bar last night, is as much above the common run of dinner speakers as his father is above the common race of banquet posts. Indeed, those two speeches of the younger Holmes are nothing short of poems in prose, being conceived in the loftiest spirit and broadest view, and scarcely less perfectly chiselled and polised in form than if they were in verse." -Boston Transcript.
