Excerpt from Noctes Ambrosianæ, Vol. 2: August, 1819 Aug, , 1824Some time later, when lecturing up'on Memory, he described the way in which a long - widowed husband would look back upon the early partner of his lot. The warm eloquence of the lecturer held his audience enchained. Ou and on he went, waxing more and more touching and impressive, and his face lighting up with emotion as the words came rushing to his lips. His eyes began to fill with moisture - then the lower jaw began to tremble - and at last, overpowered by his emotions, the old man stopped in mid career, and buried his head in his arms on the desk before him. For a minute there was perfect stillness in the class, but when wvilson again raised his head, and two big tears were seen rolling down his cheeks as he assayed to proceed, his voice was drowned in the loud cheers of the young students around him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
