Book Description
Excerpt from The Lanthorn, 1897, Vol. 1 However, we selected a name and bravely set to work, determined to snatch odd moments from play and comfort (never from school work) to accomplish our purpose. That we have done so will soon appear; how well, we leave you to judge. We make no apologies. 'tis true we might have done better, but we desire to leave a margin for succeeding classes to work upon.
