    COLLEGE of HAMPDEN SIDNEY
    Dictionary of Biography
    1776-1825
    by A. J. Morrison
    A rare copy in excellent condition that has quite a pedigree in that it was inscribed and annotated by long-time Hampden-Sydney fixture, Mrs. P.T. Atkinson. The inscription  in front was the "to the dear Joyners with my love, 'Mrs. P.T.' June 22, 1959." Inside she has some notations on certain individuals she identifies as family and after one biography, she writes "What a man!" I will leave the identity to be revealed to the purchaser and myself...maybe someone she once had the "hots" for? Just sayin'.
    Inside are prominent graduates from the past between 1776-1825 and some have a likeness as well. Interesting campus photo on last page.
    Soft cover
    , 6" x 9", 321 pages, illustrated.
