Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire: A Historical Sketch A hundred years ago, there stood on the Northern side of Water street, nearly opposite the site of the present town hall in Exeter, a somewhat stately dwelling-house, of the architectural style of the olden time, and surmounted with a hipped roof. From time to time afterward it underwent various transformations, none of them for the better, and finally disappeared, within the memory of the present generation, to make way for modern business structures. This was the Phillips mansion, and its early occupant was the Founder of the Academy, in Exeter, which bears his name. John Phillips was the second of three sons of the Rev. Samuel Phillips of Andover, Massachusetts, where he was born, December 27, (o. s.) 1719. His great-great-grandfather was the Rev. George Phillips, a native of England and a clergyman, educated at the University of Cambridge, who emigrated to this country in the year 1630, in company with Gov. Winthrop and others. He brought with him his son Samuel, who in due time graduated at Harvard College, and was settled in the ministry at Rowley, Massachusetts, in 1651, and died there after a pastorate of forty-five years, at the age of seventy-one.
