Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Princeton Sketches: The Story of Nassau Hall
The traveller from the West or South, hurry ing on his way to New York, is very apt to set tle down to two hours of dreariness, as his train runs across the flat plain of New Jersey yet, if he be an observant tourist, he will have occasion to notice, when half-way onward from Philadel phia, a distant view of the west. There, three miles away, on an elevated ridge, and backed by a range of blue hills, lies Princeton, embowered in its old elms, the many buildings of the university rising half buried in foliage, some of them silent witnesses of a glorious past, while more of them speak of the present and predict the more glorious future.
