Excerpt from Tilbury Nogo, or Passages in the Life of an Unsuccessful Man, Vol. 1 of 2My father had a great idea of Eton, and although his death delayed my appearance at that jovial school till I had completed my twelfth year, no sooner was I fairly launched in my teens than I was packed off, per stage, to take my chance of arriving at my destina tion - Eton Coll, Bucks - in company with two other new fellows, one hat-box, one portmanteau, and one carpet bag, the latter well stuffed with provision for both body and mind, including a Greek grammar, a mighty cake, a Gradus ad Parnassum, as it is somewhat ambitiously denominated, and a cold plum-pudding.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
