Abstract	Excerpt: ?I?ll have you chronicled, and chronicled, and cut and chronicled, and sung in all?to?be?praised sonnets, and grav?d in new brave ballads, that all tongues shall troule you in saecula saeculorum.? Old Comedy. In one of the little villages sprinkled along the delicious valley of the Connecticut, there stood, not many years ago, a little tavern called the Bald Eagle. It was an old?fashioned building, with a small, antique portico in front, where, of a lazy summer afternoon,the wise men of the village assembled to read newspapers, talk politics, and drink beer. Before the door stood a tall, yellow sign?post, from which hung a white sign, emblazoned with a fierce bald?headed eagle, holding an olive branch in one claw, and a flash of forked lightning in the other. Underneath was written, in large, black letters, ?The Bald Eagle; Good Entertainment for Man and Beast; by Jonathan Dewlap, Esq.? One calm, sultry, summer evening, the knot of village politicians had assembled, according to custom, at the tavern door. At the entrance sat the landlord, Justice of the Peace and Quorum, lolling in a rocking chair, and dozing over the columns of an electioneering handbill. Along the benches of the portico were seated the village attorney, the schoolmaster, the tailor, and other personages of less note, but not less idle, nor less devoted to the affairs of the nation.
