"Starting Summer Stint on 18 June 91--doing an Arlin Turner draft--that is, a plodding uninhibited draft such as what Turner published as a biography of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Reviewing 3 June 1992
The chapter is "Education Forms the Mind and Manners."
Motto:
As Diamonds rough no lustre can impart,
Till their rude Forms are well improved by Art
So untaught Youth we very seldom find,
Display the Daz[z] ling Beauties of the Mind
Till Art and Science are to Nature joind.
Allan Melvill's Book--1796
