Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Public Schools It is just seventy years since Sydney Smith wrote in the ´Edinburgh Review´ that at a public school ´A boy is cast in among five or six hundred other boys, and is left to form his own character - if his love of knowledge survive this severe trial, it, in general, carries him very far; and upon the same principle a savage, who grows up to manhood, is in general well made, and free from bodily defects; not because the severities of such a state are favourable to animal life, but because they are so much the reverse, that none but the strongest can survive them.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
