Product Description
Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:Mr. Homer's Early Youth, And Residence At AmherstCOLLEGE.The biography of a man of letters may often be comprised in these words : he was born, he studied, he published, he died. Of Mr. Homer, it can scarcely be said that he published ; for he shrunk with peculiar sensitiveness from any exposure of his compositions to public criticism.1 There is no remarkable feat of his performance, no foreign travel, not even a personal accident, not so much as the overturning of a stage-coach in which he was journeying, nor the loss of a book, nor a week of serious illness, nor any imminent danger or hair-breadth escape, which can be mentioned to change the scene in the drama of his life. His whole biography must be spun out from his intellectual and hidden existence. It is generally said of him by those who watched his earlier years, that he was a happy and a faultless boy. Not that he was free from sin, but that the graces of his character so won upon his observers that his foibles were less distinctly noticed. Not but that he had his hours of trouble and complaining; but ordinarily his life was blithesome and joyous.After leaving Mt. Pleasant in August, 1830, he pursued his classical studies in Boston until September, 1831. The succeeding year he spent at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. Toward the close of the academical year, he was appointed to pronounce the valedictory addresses at the ensuing anniversary of the school. All of his class being older than himself, some of them by1 He wrote several anonymous articles for the newspapers, and for the Shrine, a college periodical; a brief review of Tappau on the Will for the Biblical Repository, and a few Notes on the poet Homer, for Professor Fiske's edition of Eschenburg's Manual of Classical Literature,six or seven years... ...

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Delve into what it was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists and their patrons, politicians and their constituents.
