Paul Clifford, Volume I by Edward Bulwer-lytton

I own that I am envious of the pleasure you will have in finding yourself more learned than other boys, -- even those who are older than yourself. What honour this will do you! What distinctions, what applauses will follow wherever you go! -- LORD CHESTERFIELD: Letters to his Son.

Example, my boy, -- example is worth a thousand precepts. -- MAXIMILIAN SOLEMN.
