By these means a boy finds he is making a progress, and learning something from the very beginning ; he is not overwhelmed with the first appearance of insuperable difficulties : he receives some little pay from the first moment of his apprenticeship, and is not compelled to wait for remuneration till he is out of his time.

173 ページ - Virtue is harder to be got, than a knowledge of the world ; and, if lost in a young man, is seldom recovered.

If that sheepish softness, which often enervates those, who are bred...
