Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Village Grammar-School: And Other Poems When in the following Epistle, I exhibit my mind recurring with delight to those earlier years of my boyhood, which were passed at Ovingham, a secluded village grammar school in the county of Northumberland, I wish it to be remembered, that I am speaking of a remote village school, where the restrictions are less distressing than they necessarily are in town-schools, - where all surrounding objects (of natural scenery) are more cheerful and delightfully exhilarating, and where, particularly to a young heart, the external incidents are more touchingly impressive - certainly more simple. At Ovingharm we lived in rustic simplicity among rustics, many of whom we were taught to respect, and whose language (not unlike the Lowland Scotch) became in a manner familiar to us.
