Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire: A Historical Sketch

Excerpt from Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire: A Historical SketchA hundred years ago, there stood on the Northern side of Water street, nearly opposite the site of the present town hall in Exeter, a somewhat stately dwelling-house, of the architectural style of the olden time, and surmounted with a hipped roof. From time to time afterward it underwent various transformations, none of them for the better, and finally disappeared, within the memory cf the present gener ation, to make way for modern business structures.This was the Phillips mansion, and its early occupant was the Founder of the Academy, in Exeter, which bears his name.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
