Excerpt from Reminiscences and Sketches, Historical and Biographical But while his contemporaries say he used his sarcasm cruelly at times, struck with venom as if he hated his fellowmen, they bear undivided testimony to many acts of generosity and kindness to the poor and needy, and that he was genial and attractive to young men. When Mr. Pu, lately one of the leaders of the Lancaster county bar, first went to Lancaster, as a young man, he had letters of introduction to F. And Stevens. F. Discouraged him from settling there and repelled him with coldness. Stevens met him pleasantly; said it was a good place for a thorough young lawyer, and at the first court came stumping into his office and asked him to go into a case with him; said he wanted to see the stud he was made of.

Excerpt from The Public Schools of Philadelphia: Historical, Biographical, Statistical We believe that the method adopted, of giving the history of the schools under differ ent classifications, is a wise one. In the general history of the First School District of Pennsylvania, which follows the introduction, we have not gone into detail concerning the history of individual schools, but have re served such for subsequent chapters.

Excerpt from Historical and Biographical Essays, Vol. 1 of 2 The many additions in the present publication are meant to give to that design greater scope and fullness. They are most considerable in the memoirs of steele and foote and in the latter more especially an attempt by means of them has been made to render more complete the picture of a series of comic writings, which are not more remarkable for character and wit than for their vivid and humorous presentment of English vices and foibles in the later half of the eighteenth century, but which accidental causes may probably for ever shut out from the place they might have claimed to occupy in the literature of England.
