All that I heard of books, was when an Indian history, ortale of shipwreck, was sold by a peddler or wandering subscription-man, to some one in the village, and read through its owner's nose to aslumberous auditory. Like my brother fishermen, I grew into thebelief that all human erudition was collected in our pedagogue, whosegreen spectacles and solemn phiz, as he passed to his little school-house, amid a waste of sand, might have gained him a diploma from anycollege in New England. In truth I ...dreaded him. When our childrenwere old enough to claim his care, you remember, Susan, how I frowned, though you were pleased, at this learned man's encomiums on theirproficiency. I feared to trust them even with the alphabet; it wasthe key to a fatal treasure.
But I loved to lead them by their little hands along the beach, andpoint to nature in the vast and the minute, the sky, the sea, thegreen earth, the pebbles, and the shells. Then did I discourse of themighty works and coextensive goodness of the Deity, with the simplewisdom of a man whose mind had profited by lonely days upon the deep, and his heart by the strong and pure affections of his evening home.
