The Illio 1914 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Illio, 1914 The request Of the editor Of the illio that I write a story of Professor Samuel Walker Shattuck's life for publication in the 1914. Illio, and that I keep that story within the limit of five hundred or six hundred words, gives rise to very mixed feelings on my part. To write what I know Of my long-time friend is at any time a pleasure; to do so with a fair measure of justice to him or to myself in the narrow confines Of'five or six folios is an impossibility.
