Synopsis
Excerpt from Chetham College England the Oldest Free Library in the World
I hope that the past was as good as he thinks it was, and that the 'parsons and people of the old times were as pleasant as they are picturesque. I am afraid that they were not. It seems to me that it must have been mighty cold for the brethren who had but distant access to the fire, and that the cold must have entered into their souls. I am inclined to think that it is warmer now on cold days, even in Manchester. But it is cold enough.
