Full Description

"Mr. Bill has brilliantly rendered the stately progress of life in and out of Morven through its two hundred and fifty years. He has brought history home to us as a warm and living thing."--Christian Science Monitor. Originally published in 1954. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
