Historical Sketch Of Old Hanover Church Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from History of Hanover Hanover Academy, as compared with many of our higher seminaries and colleges, presents some advantages to the writer of its biography. In the first place, while much of its history may have been lost, yet its record has not in general been so darkened by the obscurity of a far distant past as to furnish any insuperable difficulty to its historian. Its existence does not antedate the century in which we live, and a venerable neighbor friend of mine, a stockholder in our Academic property, was born(1805) before Hanover Academy was built or thought of. Then, again, the Academy has had comparatively but a limited number of pupils. If it had numbered yearly its four or five hundred students, as Phillips Andover Academy now does, any minute history of it would be huge and unwieldly, and any condensed account of it would be meagre and uninteresting. Hanover Academy has lived long enough and has had numbers enough, both of teachers and scholars, to furnish an interesting variety of historic description. I have sought, so far as I was able, to make an interesting work, but never at the expense of decency or of truth.
