Excerpt from Sargent's School Monthly, for Home and School Use, 1859, Vol. 1: Containing Original Dialogues; Pieces for Reading and Declamation; Choice Moral Stories; Studies in Biography, Natural History, Grammar, Etc.; Hints on Education; Gymnastics, Calisthenics, Etc If we consider the romantic Spirit of the times, when the golden light of chivalry shone on every adventurous enterprise, we may imagine that the recital of the misery and oppression endured by pilgrims to the land of promise, and the solemn calls to the liberation of the holy sepulcher, and the repeated processions held with reference to that subject, may all have so worked on youthful imaginations, as that they should deem it practicable to execute a work which had fallen unaccomplished from the hands of princes and kings.
