Book excerpt: Excerpt from Works of Charles Dickens, Vol. 2: Household Edition The school at which young Charley Hexam had first learned from a book - the streets being, for pupils of his degree, the great Preparatory Establishment in which very much that is never unlearned is learned without and before book - was a miserable lost in an unsavory yard. Its atmosphere was oppressive and disagreeable; it was crowded, noisy, and confusing; half the pupils dropped asleep, or fell into a state of waking stupefaction; the other half kept them in either condition by maintaining a monotonous droning noise, as if they were performing, out of time and tune, on a ruder sort of bagpipe. The teachers, animated solely by good intentions, had no idea of execution, and a lamentable jumble was the upshot of their kind endeavors. It was a school for all ages, and for both sexes. The latter were kept apart, and the former were partitioned off into square assortments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
