BURNS AND DICKENS AS BOYS.
What the Poet and Novelist Read in
Their Youthful Days,

J. 81 Sloan. in the Fortnightly Review.
Dickens owed much 10 the two years,
from twelve to fourteen. during which hs
attended the Wellington House Academy;
and Burns acquired more from the irreg-
ular tuition which he received from Muir
dOch--a clever teacher in Ayr and a In
guist Of the old order in Scotland-than
the average youth derives from a COM
plete and perfect academic course. Books
TO both these young geniuses became
schools and schoOlmasters. A plowboy
earning a maximum wage OF e a year,
plus food. and a bed In the "garret,"
Burns reading included Shakespeare,
Pope, Addison's Spectator" Loeke's ''Es-
say" and a collection OF English songs,
then popular. which awOke in him a pas
sionate response 20 the appeal OF the lyric
muse. In the impoverished home IN
Baynham street, little Dickens had read
TON Jones. Humphrey Cl!nker."
"Roderick Random" =" "Peregrine Pickle"
&c. before he was sent with the books
to the pawnbroker' shop; and not only
read, but inwardly digested. these mas
teTpieces Of eighteenth century fiction.
When driving his cart or walking TO Ia
Dor, Burns pored over his favorite vol
ume; he escaped the modern vice of des-
ultory reading among a bewildered mass
Of ephemeral books; and he came 10 know
his few classics with the intimacy Of the
legitimate scholar. In disengaged hours,
IN intervals innocently pilfered, at the at
tOrney's desk. Dickens. also, was a vO-
Tacious reader; and II all men could use
-fr-rr -
protest in later life against POpe's argu-
ment for profundity OF nothing would
be justified by results. Ben JonsOn's re-
mark touching the imperfect scholarship
Of Shakespeare might have been made Of
Burns. for he, also, had small Latin and
less Greek" Nor did he AZ heart under
value the culture Of the school, but wrote
contemptdoUsly Of 1t only when he OBJ
served that men claimed for learning the
potency TO create brains and common
sense.
