...Irving, as he stood before his audience last evening, differed but little from the Irving with whom all have become familiar upon the stage. His tones were the same which have been so often heard behind the footlights: his delivery was marked by the same careful enunciation and emphasis which lends it its peculiar charm. In the subject matter of his lecture there was much that was of necessity somewhat trite, but the sombre current of the subject was lightened by many gleams of anecdote and wit.

...winning of the Mott Haven cup on the same eventful day. But, even on this great occasion, the college exulted without firecrackers and horns; and, furthermore, this was the only celebration of the year. Now, however, a class victory is sufficient to turn the college into an uproar, and often the boom of the firecracker is heard in the yard merely when some individual is festive on his own account.

...during the evening, an essay of several pages length, and, on going to bed, repeating it word for word, from beginning to end. De Quincey immortalized himself by his wonderful visions. There is that remarkable work of Cicero's on the vision of Scipio, a work that I have often thought must have suggested to Richter the idea embodied in his well-known Dream of The Universe. Bunyan is continually saying, "Now I saw in my dream." And thus a thousand and one instances might be cited, in which, merely as a flight of the imagination, or to serve...
