DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Confessions of Artemas Quibble My early instruction was received in the public schools of my native town, supplemented by tort ured hours at home with Greenleaf's Mental Arithmetic and an exhaustive study of the major and minor prophets. The former stood me in good stead, but the latter I fear had small effect. At any rate, the impression made upon me bore little fruit, and after three years of them I found myself in about the same frame of mind as the Oxford student who, on being asked at his examination to distinguish between the major and minor prophets, wrote in answer' God forbid that I should dis criminate between such holy men! But for all that I was naturally of a studious and even scholarly disposition, and much preferred browsing among the miscellaneous books piled in a corner of the attic to playing the rough and-tumble games in which my school-mates indulged.
