Alexander Sedgwick belonged to a rather notable literary family. He did not, like his brothers and fellow-centurions Ellery and Henry, engage in literary work himself; but he took a hand energetically in civic affairs, serving his turn in the Massachusetts legislature and promoting for many years the useful New England cult of “village improvement.”
