Herder : [volume of tales]
I was soon able to make my way in a volume of tales by Herder, Lessing , and others. My school prospered for I took care to attend to its duties assiduously; and yet kept firm hold of my studies, rising early in the morning, and, with my book in my hand, as of old, walked from our little home in St. Mary's Street, along the Sincil Dyke, and on to Canwick Common, whenever weather permitted me to do so.

The nineteenth-century cobbler Thomas Cooper's account of his reading routines: '"Historical reading, or the grammar of some language, or translation, was my first employment on week-day mornings, whether I rose at three or four, until seven o'clock, when I sat down to the stall. A book or a periodical in my hand while I breakfasted, gave me another half-hour's reading, I had another half-hour, and sometimes an hour's reading or study of language, at from one to two o'clock, the hour of dinner -- usually eating my food with a spoon, after I had cut it in pieces, and having my eyes on a book all the time."'
