...entrance will be the "pediment," of moulded brick, enclosing the "tympanum," which will be handsomely carved, and will contain a brick panel, inscribed "Sever Hall." The east side, on Quincy Street, will be similar to the one just described, except that its doorway and pediment slightly differ in shape. The south end of the building will front Main Street, and will be quite plain in general appearance. A tier of triple windows will extend up the centre, three to a floor, furnishing light to the entries within. These windows will have carved brickwork underneath, and the middle one in each...

While he does not lay claim to a professional's skill in coaching, Mr. Goddard...
...common language of all these nations, braxe, or bracce; probably because it was made of the same party-colored cloth with their plaids, as breac, in that language, signifies anything that is party-colored. These braxe, or close trousers, which were both graceful and convenient, and discovered the fine shape and turn of their limbs to great advantage, were used by the genuine posterity of the Caledonian Britons in the Highlands of Scotland till very lately, and are hardly yet laid aside in some remote corners of that country...
