Excerpt from Reminiscences of Eton (Keate's Time)My five brothers, I know, agree with me as to how much of their happiness in after-life they owe to Old Eton and all its freemasonry and friendship in every clime and in every place. My sixth brother - who was preparing for Eton (not that it wanted much preparation in those days), and who missed going there by having an appointment Offered at Woolwich (then a matter of nomination) though he passed a very successful career as R. H. A. And staff-college man and very young General, - always had one regret, in all the places where he served in various parts of the world in both hemispheres, that his mother who was left a widow, and his two elder brothers who were left his guardians, did not foresee the grand advantage which they themselves enjoyed, and send him to the old school, if it had been only for one half, in order to be enrolled in the 'few, the happy few, ' the band of brothers' who could call themselves Eton Fellows.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
