Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English as She Is Taught: Genuine Answers to Some Examination Questions in Our Public Schools Dr. Blimber´s establishment was a great hothouse in which there was a forcing apparatus incessantly at work. All the boys blew before their time. Mental green peas were produced at Christmas and intellectual asparagus all the year round. Mathematical gooseberries (very sour ones) were common at untimely seasons and from mere sprouts of bushes under Dr. Blimber´s cultivation. Every description of Greek and Latin vegetable was got off the dryest twigs of boys under the frostiest circumstances. Nature was of no consequence at all. No matter what a young gentleman was intended to bear, Dr. Blimber made him bear to pattern. But the system of forcing was attended with its usual disadvantages. There was not the right taste about the premature productions and, they didn´t keep well. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
