Excerpt from Easy Lessons in Natural Philosophy, Natural History, Mechanics, Chemistry, Electricity, Optics, and Acoustics The time for the departure of the pedlar arrived, and previous to setting of? On his journey, he lent Hallam Cocker's Arithmetic, which had bound up with it a treatise on Algebra, and a work upon Physics and Somatology. These he studied so thoroughly that when the pedlar returned he was astonished to find his quondam pupil had almost eclipsed his tutor, and forthwith proceeded to draw his horoscope, as he termed it, in order to discover the probable career of this wonderful lad. Having concluded his observations, the pedlar predicted that in two years Hallam would surpass his tutor, and ultimately rise to be a great man; and the youth promised that if such came to pass, he would not forget in his prosperity the instruction of the pedlar, and his kindness towards him.
