Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from College Days at Georgetown, and Other Papers
Perhaps not Without rashness, is mainly responsible for bringing to light the following pages. Undertaken merely as reminiscences of the days of my own student life at Georgetown, I had no sooner begun to write before the plan widened into a sketch of the College. But such a sketch required historical research and exceeding care, and imposed upon me rigid scrutiny of the little-understood legal status of the ex-jesuits in Maryland and the District of Columbia during the years of the suppression. Two or three chap ters, consequently, had to be indited before I could get down to the task proper which I had set for myself, of personal recollections of college days from 1851 to 1862.
