be unlike that Of others. because I lived IN one

ties for good men OF all trades and professions

not be a genius; indeed, it is not necessary for
him to be brilliant. But he is obliged to be in
dustrious and TO like his calling The law is In
the books. He is compelled to go there to find

boys made clerks, then helped along as students

where they could and did anticipate our wants
