Description:Excerpt from Some RecollectionsOn Adams Street, near Concord was a public school, which was a large one, and I think the only one in Brook lyn at that time. On Henry Street, near Pineapple Street, Mr. Hegeman had a large private school. A very good class of boys attended, almost as many as attended the Classical Hall. It had a belfry with a large bell which could be heard at a long distance, and which served to call the three schools to their studies. I remember the bell, for four or five of us one bitter cold night got up in the belfry and upset the bell, making it fast with the mouth up, and filled it half full of water which froze solid before morning; and it was very late the next morning when it rung again.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
