Excerpt from Memoir of Rt. Rev. James Hervey Otey, D.D., LL. D: The First Bishop of TennesseeOne peculiarity, or infirmity, of my dear schoolmate at this time, I well remember. It was his fear of light ning. Although sufficiently bold and self-reliant on other occasions, he was so completely unmanned at the approach of a thunder-cloud, that a visible paleness and tremor would seize him. It is only since the writer began this Memoir, that he has learned from the Rev. Dr. Wheat the following amusing incident, which fully accounts for this idiosyncrasy in the subject of our story.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
