I, Frank Fairlegh, age 15, am off to London, to complete my schooling as one of the select set of pupils studying under the Rev. Dr. Mildman. "Yes, sir, master's in, sir," says the manservant who answers my timorous knock at the door. "So you're Mr. Fairlegh, sir, our new young gent, sir?" (here the ludicrous expression predominates); "hope you'll be comfortable, sir" (here he nearly bursts into a laugh); "show you into master's study, sir, directly" (here he becomes preternaturally grave again); and, opening the study door, he ushers me into the presence of the dreaded tutor. "A pleasant journey, had you?" inquires "Mrs." Mildman, later at the evening table, while offering a platter of fish. "Not any, I am much obliged to you," I reply, thinking of the fish. This produces a total silence. I am plainly proving myself, on my first day "Frank Fairlegh, Scenes from the Life of a Private Pupil, Vol. 1," offers a delightful look into the unassuming and irreverent mind of a young pupil of mid-19th century England.

Harry Coverdale's Courtship, and All That Came of It

By: Frank E. Smedley

Smedley (1818-64) was an English novelist. He was born with deformed feet, a disability which impaired his mobility and prevented him from attending regular school so he was privately educated by his uncle, the Reverend Edward Smedley. His cousin, the novelist and poet Menella Bute Smedley, later kept house for him and acted as his secretary. Smedley's first literary venture, Scenes from the Life of a Private Pupil, was published anonymously in Sharpe's London Magazine from 1846-48 and proved so successful that it was expanded and published in book form in 1850 under the title Frank Fairlegh. He went on to write several further novels, often humourous and at times racily told, most of which were originally illustrated by either "Phiz" (best known for illustrating Dickens' works) or George Cruikshank. This novel, first published in book form in 1854 (an earlier version having previously been serialised), is his best-known work.
