: [French Grammar]
Twice I procured a French grammar, and in private essayed that tongue; but my attempts were discovered and laughed at, and I was decidedly told I could never learn without instruction. This was not to be had, and, disappointed and discouraged, I abandoned the pursuit.

: ['novels']
As I grew up, I still read with avidity all I could lay my hands on, and was not at all fastidious. Unfortunately I got novels, plays etc and read them privately... My parents remonstrated...

: ['Roman Classics']
Never did any poor creature labour with morediligence than I did to obtain the most accurate knowledge of the language. I succeeded, read all the Roman classics, and fast as I finished one author, I found some friend willing to lend me another.

Virgil :
My circumstances were perhaps well fitted to the task of self-culture - too straitened to admit of much expenditure on books, but sufficiently easy to afford me plenty of leisure to read and study them when they were lent to me. At one time I longed to read Virgil but could not just then obtain it; night after night I dreamed of it, and when after many another book had been read and dismissed, I did procure it, I was exquisitely delighted with it.

Maria Edgeworth :
My taste for light reading was diminished, yet works of fiction were not all abandoned. The beautiful productions of Miss Edgeworth's pen were fascinating, and there were some of the old-school novels I could not give up.

William Lilly : Lilly's Latin Grammar
It was Lilly's Latin Grammar. It called for uncommon perseverance to come at its contents, so much had it suffered from the use and abuse of schools... But I was desperate; nothing now could daunt me. I sewed, and pasted and repaired and covered the old book... and then conned and conjectured, and unweariedly considered its contents, that I might comprehend them. My father finding me resolved, gave me all the assistance in his power, but my reliance was on my own persevering and unconquerable determination to succeed.
