Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Observations of a Foster Parent Consequently, when you remarked, after reading my first literary effort, that you would like to hear something of the English schoolboy, I registered a vow within myself to give you what you asked for. In the fulness of time the present little volume has been put together. To you who live among the aristocracy of intellect in a society where Gargantua´s advice to his son Pantagruel to become "an abyss, a bottomless pit of knowledge," would be accepted as an ordinarily practical suggestion, much that I have written must appear unnecessary. I am indeed conscious of a certain incongruity in submitting questions of reading, writing and arithmetic to a Prælector in Philosophy. It has, however, been my fate to have come into close personal contact with more numerous varieties of my countrymen and countrywomen than are ordinarily accessible to the Professors and Lecturers of our Universities or the Masters of our Public Schools; to have studied the Provincial as well as the Metropolitan Press.
