Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from William Wetmore Story and His Friends, Vol. 2 of 2: From Letters, Diaries, and Recollections
And there, at its distance, on its admirable deep plunging ramparts - a presence as felt, perpet ually, as marked for your spiritual economy as that of some great reduced personage on a pro longed visit to you would be for your domestic and social - stands the hard old fighting, paint ing, dwindling city, even yet as embattled for the eye, even yet as buttressed and bristling and frowning, with its tallest sharp tower in the sky as some girt and armoured warrior who forever shakes his spear.
