The wrappers generally shows light to moderate wear, but there is some abrasion or chipping at the top of the spine with some separtion. Text is generally clean. Nice early Confederate Imprint from North Carolina. Housed in a removable plastic sleeve with a board backing. William Hooper (1792-1876) was a teacher and pastor from Hillsborough, N.C. His father, William Hooper, Sr., was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The younger Hooper entered the University of North Carolina's prep school in 1804, and he received his B.A. in 1809 and his M.A. in 1812. He went on to study at Princeton. He had started tutoring at UNC in 1810, and he continued to teach in various capacities until 1837. In this pamphlet, Hooper relates many memories of his early days in Chapel Hill, and this was one of the sources liberally used by Kemp Plummer Battle in his history of the University. Scarce.
