On the eleventh day of April, 1837, Walter Aimwell entered as apprentice / the printing office of one of the leading printers of Boston. He boarded / in the city, not far from the office. There is no record of his leisure / hours, or of his experience at any time during the remainder of this / year, excepting a passing allusion which we shall hereafter meet.
On the third of October, 1838, he began to keep a sort of journal or / note-book, in which he seems to have recorded striking matters of / fact which he met in his reading, and to have inserted occasionally a / composition of his own.
