Excerpt from Select Remains of the Rev. William Nevins: With a Memoir

About the age of fourteen years, William came to New York, and entered a counting room. But though he was manifestly not indolent, yet it was soon appar ent that his heart was not there. The fire of the love of knowledge was shut up in his bones. He remained, however, for one year. At the expiration of that time, his parents, convinced of the permanency and fervency of his desire to obtain a liberal education, yielded to his requests and the advice of friends, and consented to his returning home. He immediately commenced prepara tory studies, and in due time entered Yale College, where he distinguished himself as a scholar.
