...placed in that portion of the country which has been termed "the classic ground of America," embracing some places, descriptions of which many have perused since their first juvenile acquisition in the art of reading, but containing others which are not of such world-wide celebrity, yet none the less instructive. Within a radius of a few miles from the College there is abundant material to engage for a long time the earnest attention of the antiquarian, and subjects, too, in which every one interested in the history of his own country should take a just pride.

...appeal to the "educated," who are, after all, only students who have graduated from college, and forgotten much if not most of what they have learned there, who cannot act so much as a unit, and who are not so easily accessible as students. Though the latter are less numerous, they should not find themselves entirely neglected, as they are now, on that account. You will very probably say that educated men gain an experience of men and affairs, after leaving college, which gives them this greater consideration, - and who will not agree with you? - but it would be hard...
