Excerpt from Familiar Sketches of the Phillips Exeter Academy and SurroundingsA visit to some of the great schools of England, one summer, during my student days at Exeter, and a subsequent inquiry into their foundation, endow ment, and discipline, led me to study somewhat care fully 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 Amer ican 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
