Excerpt from Our Library: A Quarterly Circular of Information for Those Who Use the Aston Manor Public Library; November 1900
But let us turn away from Class F (which I suppose you know very well) to Class E. I wonder how many boys have read jolen. Halifax, Gentleman, by' Mrs. Craik? (1157, 1158, and 2064e). It is a book any boy over the age of fourteen could read and enjoy. It tells of the career of a poor lad, from boyhood to age, and it has in it a number of interesting incidents which happened when the seventeen hundreds were just turning into eighteens, as the eighteen has just turned into nineteen hundred. A few weeks ago I went over the places referred to in the book, and the pleasant memories of my first reading of. It came upon me afresh, so that I am going to read it again, for the fourth time.
