She did not seem to love me and turned my father against me. Then my father sent me to school to a Welshman, Mr. Rico, who kept the free school in the town of Lancaster. He was exceedingly cruel and dealt unjustly with me. This discouraged me so about school and lessons that I remember wishing often times that I might take care of pigs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
