Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays on Partial Derangement of the Mind: In Supposed Connexion With Religion
Soon after I left the High School I was placed under the care of a clergyman of the Episcopal Church of Scotland, a good scholar, but an idle and dissipated man. Both master and pupil had more relish for frivolous talk than for Homer or Virgil; and as he did not exact careful preparation, I did not read much for him; so that, although I went to him daily for two years, little was added to my knowledge of Greek or Latin.
