Excerpt from History of Sandford Merton: Abridged From the Original; For the Amusement and Instruction of Juvenile Minds; Embellished With Elegant Plates He was so delicately brought up, that he was hardly ever well; for a little wind gave him cold, and the heat of the sun brought on a fever. When Tommy arrived in England he was six years of age. He had not learned so much as to read, and had been so much indulged, that he hardly knew the proper use of his limbs. At no great distance from Mr. Merton's seat, lived a plain and honest farmer, who, like him, had an only son, but a few months older than Tommy Merton. His name was Harry Sandford. This youth was strong, active, hardy, and fresh-coloured, being accustomed to run about in the fields, and engage in those rural employments his age would admit of. His affable temper made him beloved by every one; and so tender were his feelings, that he would never rob the innocent birds of their eggs, but has frequently given half his bread and butter to feed the poor robins in the winter. He would destroy no animal whatever, saying, that God had made nothing in vain, and we had no right to put an end to the existence of any creature he had been pleased to make.
