Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems on Several Occasions The Author of the following Poems was lorn in the city of Philadelphia June 8th, 1742; and was sent to the Academy here soon after it was first opened and before the Collegiate part of the Institution was begun. Having spent about six years in Grammar Learning, his parents who were reputable citizens, designing him for merchandize, put him Apprentice; but not finding either his genius or inclination leading him much to that profession he devoted more of his time to the service of the Muses, than to the business of the Counting-House. Soon after the expiration of his apprenticeship he accordingly returned to the College, and applied himself with great diligence to the study of Philosophy and the Sciences, till the Commencement, May 30th, 1765; when on account of his great merit and promising genius he was by special Mandate of the Trustees, upon the recommendation of the Provost and Faculty of Professors, complimented with a Diploma for the degree of Master of Arts, although he had not taken the previous degree Bachelor of Arts on account, of the interruption in his course of studies during the term of his apprenticeship.
