To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Winston was the death of his mother, whose eminent piety, as a member of the Presbyterian Church, commended her profession, and makes her memory especially precious now to her children.
Such a loss to a boy of seven years, jiossessing a quick temper, strong will, and impulsive disposition, can hardly be estimated.
He received at home the rudiments of an education, and was sent one year to a day-school in the neighborhood ; but not improving luider his teacher, he was again taken home and kept a...t his books.
Sometimes, at busy seasons, he v/orked on the farm, but he was iinj)atient of long restraint at any employment. He delighted in field-sports, became an expert in bird-hunting, and so prided himself upon his skill as a ''shot" that he was really mortified when excelled.
In 1852 his father died at the advanced age of seventy, and James, then about fourteen, was sent to the classical school taught by his eldest brother, John Hastings Winston, at " Westwood," near Lynchburg, Virginia. This change of home had a happy etfect on him ; from a thoughtless, wayward boy he became a diligent student; yet prompted more, perhaps, by emulation than by the simple love of books.
