Excerpt from The FancySeptember, in the year 1794, at Shrewsbury, a town not very celebrated for men either of talent or genius, but proverbial for the pride and arro gance of its inhabitants, and for the excellence of its cakes. The parents of Peter were reputable, but by no means opulent, his father however had, by patient care and rigid frugality, saved a sufficiency to support himself and his wife com fortably and respectably: and he was enabled to place his son at the] free-school in the town, and ultimately to give him that education at College and the Inns of Court which is required to fit a young man for the bar. How far the propriety of this liberal exertion on the part of the father may be questioned, will be seen in the course of this short but decisive narrative. Peter was sent to school at seven years of age.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
