Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'Mr Girle wrote a history of his blue coat days, which he was anxious should appear in "Tait", and one day, at his request, I carried the MS to the warehouse, but it did not appear in the magazine. He read it, however, to the boys of "George Heriot's Hospital", of which great institution he was one of the "Governors" and it was printed for private circulation.'
