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.
