Three Lectures On English Literature Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Lectures on English Literature: From Chaucer to Tennyson Henry reed was born in Philadelphia on the 1lth of July, 1808. He was christened by the name of Henry Hope, though the middle name was afterwards dropped. His early education was at the classical school, of high repute in its day, of Mr. James Ross. Here began a friend ship, which lasted through life and survived in earnest sorrow for his premature death, with Mr. Horace Binney, (the younger, ) whose name I venture to refer to in simple justice to the living and the dead, to us who grieve and to him for whom we mourn. This friendship was faithful and affectionate to the end. Mr. Reed entered the Sophomore class at the University of Pennsylvania in September, 1822, and was graduated as Bachelor Of Arts in 1825. He began the study of the law under the general guidance of Mr. Sergeant, then at the heighth of his professional fame, and was admitted to practice in the District Court Of the City and County Of Philadelphia in 1829.
