Reading Experience:

Evidence:

?I read in the newspaper the day before yesterday an account of a lad brought up for not supporting his child. The father was fifteen or sixteen years old, the mother a year or two less, and the Grandmother of the child ? the girl?s mother ? appeared, who was twenty-nine years old and had fourteen children. This seems to me to be curious enough to be worth recording?'
