Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rose of Ashurst, Vol. 1 of 2 A few hours´ application now and then being all that was required for the government of his small domain - at least, according to the slack and somewhat languid fashion in which my father had all his life been accustomed to discharge, what he had never been taught to look upon, and never had looked upon - in the light of a duty. I had grown up under unfavourable circumstances. The acknowledged heir of a moderate estate, the idea had never been entertained that I could possibly have to get my own living - that wholesome conviotion which forms the ordinary stimulus to exertion among boys, was wanting. It is astonishing how early children receive impressions of this nature, either to their profit or injury. There was not an old spoiled servant of our sickly-governed and indulgent household, that had not his part in teaching little master, that he was the heir to the estate, that he was a gentleman born and bred, and as such, had not to toil and moil like the rest of the world. I cannot say that my father altogether countenanced such doctrines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
