In that age some men had such an enthusiastic predilection to antiquity that they were animated by an ardent zeal for collecting ancient manuscripts, medals, inscriptions, statues, monumental fragments, and other ancient and classical remains.
"A monumental farce." Ex-Governor Broadbent. "Who is Mr. Crewe?" Senator Whitredge. "I have been very busy. I do not know what candidates are in the field." Mr. Augustus P. Flint, president of the Northeastern Railroads. "I have heard that a Mr. Crewe is a candidate, but I do not know much about him. They tell me he is a summer resident at Leith."
