Excerpt from The Library, Vol. 1: A Quarterly Review of Bibliography and Library Lore; Third Series

Iwas at my first coming into the School put into a form somewhat too high for me, by which means I made haste and took pains to become equal to those with whom I was ranked. My employment also, about half a year before my departure thence, to teach most of the upper end (for the lower end was taught by an usher), did admirably further my progress in learning, so as I became able to instruét and overlook them, who, I am verily persuaded, had better profited than myself at my first coming to Bury. I was able also to discourse somewhat readily in the Latin tongue; so as one Mr. Hubbard, a Master of Arts of Trinity College, in Cambridge, coming one day into the school, and addressing himself to my form to examine it, and at last singling me out from the rest, I readily entered the lists with him; and ere we had long discoursed, I took twice or thrice tripping in false Latin, and gave him notice of it; which so nettled him, as he brake Ofi' abruptly with me, and awhile after departed out of the school.
