Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Men of a Famous Class How the memories come flocking back as we think over our college days! How the old faces appear again, not as they are to-day, but young, boyish, with life all ahead! How the blue lines of mountains and hills rise before us, beautiful and clear, as on the day when we first saw them, when we rumbled over from "Hamp!" The sharply serrated ridge of the Holyoke range, and the great, rounded masses of the Pelham Hills and Mount Toby are still before our eyes! What a world of mystery and magic lives beyond the Notch! Over in another direction hangs the smoke of Northampton, - Mecca, with Smith College as its Kaaba! What walks and talks! What drives! What dances! What wonderful days! What a world of boyhood dreams we lived in twenty-five years ago! No to-day, for we live it all over, day after day. We read over the names of our Classmates, and know something that is still as fresh and strong as it was twenty-five years ago, even stronger and dearer, the power of friendship. Friendships began when our struggling band of Freshmen came to Amherst in 1891. Friendships have continued with the years. They, like the hills and mountains of Amherst, survive, something lasting and touched with eternity. It is in the spirit of friendship that this volume ha? been prepared. In the midst of the busy world of life, every one in the Class will enjoy sitting by himself and reading the sketches that bring back old days, old scenes, old memories and strengthen old affections. Come back to Amherst in June, to the Twenty-fifth Reunion, reach out your hand to your fellow Classmates, and feel once more the thrill of Amherst, of youth, and of lasting friendship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Stories: By Famous Men Ambassador Brand Whitlock vouches for this tourist story: The line, of carriages containing the members of the "Personally Conducted, Seeing Europe in Thirty Days," had come to a stop before the Excelsior Hotel in Rome, and this conversation was overheard in one of the carriages containing two women: "Mother, is this Rome?" The answer came in a tired, "toured-to-death" tone of voice: "What day of the week is it, my dear?" "This is Tuesday. Why?" "Well, if it is Tuesday, it must be Rome." On one occasion Governor "Dick" Oglesby went down to Joliet to inspect the State prison, and in one of the cells he found a very ugly man. "How did you get in here?" asked Oglesby. "Abduction," was the reply. "I tried to run off with a girl, and they caught me." "I'll pardon you as soon as I get back to Springfield," said the Governor; "I don't see how you could expect to get a wife in any other way."

The family continued, for successive centuries, to produce men distinguished in their day and generation as knights, divines, lawyers, and agriculturists; and during the Protectorate two of its cadets, more adventurous than their predecessors, fared forth from a hereditary grange in Northamptonshire, took shipping for Virginia, sailed into the bay of Chesapeake, and settled, in the midst of silk grass and wild fruit, under the shade of the tall, bulky trees on the banks of the Potomac. The grandson of one of these emigrants, a colonist of industry, enterprise, and repute, flourished in the earlier part of the eighteenth century.

Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references.

The city as he left it, at the end Of his reign of forty-three years, was built on both sides Of the Euphrates, and covered a space of four hundred square miles, equal to five times the size of London. It was surrounded by a triple wall Of bri'ck the innermost, over three hundred feet high, and eighty-five feet broad at the top, with room for four chariots to drive abreast. The walls were pierced by one hundred gate-ways framed in brass and with brazen gates, and at the points Where the Euphrates entered and left the city the walls also turned and followed the course of the river, thus dividing the city into two fortified parts. These two districts were connected by a bridge Of stone piers, guarded by portcullises, and ferries also plied between the quays that lined the river-banks, to which access was given by gates in the walls.
