"I have always observed within my experience that the men who have left home young have, many long years afterwards, had the tenderest love for it. That's a pleasant thing to think of, as one of the wise adjustments of this life of ours." |
[The following essay was, most of it,
written in August and September,1879, and was read before the Manchester
Literary Club, on the evening of the 16th February,1880. The drawings were made
