This story was begun, within a few months after the publication of the completed ´´Pickwick Papers.´´ There were, then, a good many cheap Yorkshire schools in existence. There are very few now.

Traders in the avarice, indifference, or imbecility of parents, and the helplessness of children; ignorant, sordid, brutal men, to whom few considerate persons would have entrusted the board and lodging of a horse or a dog; they formed the worthy cornerstone of a structure, which, for absurdity and a magnificent high-minded LAISSEZ-ALLER neglect, has rarely been exceeded in the world.
