Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Proceedings at the Celebration of the Centenary of Ackworth School: 26th and 27th of Sixth Month, 1879 I think it is Hugh Miller who records that, when a farmer´s boy, he was sent by his master to a pond or stream, with a litter of puppies judged to belong to the superfluous canine multitude. Instead of executing his commission, or rather charge, he straightway ran home, explaining his arrival there to his father´s household, by exclaiming, "I could na droon the wee doggies." I have been reminded of the story whilst tenderly regarding my superfluous reminiscences of our recent happy festival at Ackworth, and should have been glad to escape from the situation by casting on some one else the task of putting an end to them. Alas! they have been permitted to survive, and hence the prolixity of the following narrative. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
