Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Familiar Sketches of the Phillips Exeter Academy and Surroundings A visit to some of the great schools of England, one summer, during my student days at Exeter, and a subsequent inquiry into their foundation, endowment, and discipline, led me to study somewhat carefully the history of the school in which I was most interested, - that of the Phillips Exeter Academy. I was surprised to find how meagre were the sources of information. The only available articles were Professor Hoyt´s paper, published in 1858, in the North American Review, and Professor Bowen´s Preface to the General Catalogue issued by the Academy in 1869. These, although written in a far more scholarly style than I could hope to command, were necessarily brief. "This institution," I considered, "founded as it was in the days of Washington, of Lafayette, and of Jefferson, possessing as it does such glorious traditions and so many eminent Alumni, deserves, beyond a doubt, a written history." It was suggested that I should write something; but I at first hesitated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
