Bancroft School Worcester MA. While the young man delivered several sermons shortly after his return from Europe in 1822 which produced a favorable impression the love of literature proved the stronger attachment. As time passed and custom created familiarity his style personal and literary was seen to be the outward symbol of a firm resolve to preserve a philosophic calm and of an enormous underlying energy which spent itself in labor.
