Excerpt from American Authors, 1795 1895: Bibliography of First and Notable Editions Chronologically Arranged With Notes When the wind was east and a sullen sky lowered upon a sod den street, seven students slept and dreamed. In his dream each visited a bookshop and from an ignoble resting-place drew a bun die of pamphlets. There was an Amherst catalogue in the collee tion, and there was also a speech by Daniel Webster. An Old Farmer's Almanac neighbored a sermon by the Reverend Shear jashub Baalam on The Iniquity of Unitarianism and A List of lighthouses and fog-signals in the United States.
