Evidence: | '[during his three years as a London apprentice castor-maker] I was mightily addicted to reading and Study; and tho' I was then engaged in a laborious trade and not allowed time for such Imployments of the Brain; yet I was so intent on my Study, that abridged myself of my Sleep and Rest. For after having wrought hard all day, from Five or Six in the Morning, till Ten or Eleven at Night, it was frequent with me to sit up two or three Hours reading'. |
