Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Youth, Youth Two of your objections to these stories I can probably anticipate. You will say, firstly, that I have painted a freak gallery of masters. To this I beg to make a reply that you must smilingly admit to hold a truth - some who dashingly elect to follow the high steep path of educating Youth, especially in Science, are in truth little less than freaks and these alone provide the basis, in fact or fiction, for any schoolboy rag. Nothing, however, universal follows. I should be the last to take a definite side in the time-long, almost friendly, battle between Youth and Age. Every boy of seventeen, however much he may seem to suffer schoolmasters gladly, nurtures a hidden but self convincing scorn for all his seniors as Victorian or even worse. In his mind's eye they figure as narrow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
