Excerpt from American Authors, 1795 1895: Bibliography of First and Notable Editions Chronologically Arranged With Notes When the wind was east and a sullen sky lowered upon a sod den street, seven students slept and dreamed. In his dream each visited a bookshop and from an ignoble resting-place drew a bun die of pamphlets. There was an Amherst catalogue in the collee tion, and there was also a speech by Daniel Webster. An Old Farmer's Almanac neighbored a sermon by the Reverend Shear jashub Baalam on The Iniquity of Unitarianism and A List of lighthouses and fog-signals in the United States. Next came the Annual Report of the New York Central Railroad for 1882 and under it were six copies of Tamerlane, by a Bostonian, which the enraptured dreamer bought for five cents apiece.
