The books went and came in a green flannel bag holding much good. My father was fond of history. The winter evenings brought about him the great things of the past. He liked the lives of eminent and steadfast men. Samuel Adams was a man much to his mind, and William the Silent. Speaking with him in his later years I found THE EVENING BOOKS 39 that he had drawn in his thoughts a full com- parison between this father of the Dutch Re- public and Washington. He made mention of the greater difficult...ies by which William was beset, and said he doubted if his work were not as great as that of Washington. He knew well the conspicuous eminence in these lines of life of these two men together. There was much reading aloud in these evenings. My father himself would read either aloud or silently often until he fell asleep. The children of the place remember well the expression of his countenance when sometimes the book dropped from his hands. Then to become wakeful — or always indeed near the end of every winter evening — he went with his lantern to the barn.
