The standing of young Henry, I remember, at his school, for scholarship, was then very noted, and his reputation in the village most prominent.

He was spoken of as a lad of great promise, and a very learned boy at twelve.

Mr.Robert Buchanan, a Scotchman, and a man of learning, took much pride in his advances, and finally came to his father and told him that he had taught him all he knew.

In Latin, I think he was taught by Cleanthus Felt.

He was at this age very arduous and assiduous in the pursuit of knowledge.
