Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures, Essays, and Sermons The first time that I remember seeing Samuel Johnson was in the old College Chapel at Cambridge. It was the "Class-day" of 1842; and he was giving the class oration. It was poetic even to rhapsody; certainly very unlike ordinary college orations. I remember only one passage, and that indistinctly: it was something about the warrior´s shields sounding upon the walls, - some illustration, very likely, from Ossian. But I recall, as if it were seen yesterday, the dark, animated countenance, the flowing hair, the earnest, musical tones, the light, quick movement from one foot to the other, - the whole air of inspiration. It was as fascinating as it was unlooked for. This must have been in July. In the autumn of the same year, when I entered the Divinity School, I soon found him out among my classmates. The same fascination drew me toward him, and then began a friendship which continued for forty years. Samuel Johnson was born in Salem, Massachusetts, on the 10th of October, 1822. His father was a much respected physician, his mother "of an old Salem family." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
