Excerpt from Guide Through Mount Auburn: A Hand-Book for Passengers Over the Cambridge Railroad, Illustrated With Engravings and a Plan of the Cemetery

Although, as has been remarked, Cambridge is to a certain extent a manufacturing place, much more so than the gen erality of suburban towns. Yet, as will readily be imagined from a knowledge of its proximity to the capital, and the ready means of public conveyance between the two places, it is, and always must be, a place occupied principally for residences of persons doing business in the metropolis. The construction of the Horse Railroad has to an unusual extent contributed to make Cambridge desirable as a place of resi dence; and when it is remembered that the centre of the city is within half an hour's ride of the business part of Boston, that the city is supplied With gas, and furnished with a most abundant supply of the purest water, it would seem that a residence there must be almost as convenient as a residence in Boston, besides having all those attractions so eagerly wished for in a large city, and always expected in a country residence.
