Excerpt from The Correction of Papers So much in general, it may be wise to add a concrete illustration. Let us attend to the weekly routine of the upper class in Christ's Hospital, the school where Samuel Taylor Coleridge was prepared for Cambridge, and was in¿amed with a love of English, where, in fact, he laid the foundations of a literary training. Here is approximately what he and the best of his fellow-pupils, the Senior Grecians, were doing at a charity school at London in the year 1790: Monday morning: Homer or Tragic Chorus by heart, Greek Tragedy. Monday afternoon: Hebrew Psalter, Horace or Juvenal. Written exercise' for Monday: English and Latin Theme, in alternate weeks.
