Chambers's Euclid, will soon become practicable to him; and in proving them, the process of self-development will be not intellectual only, but moral. To continue these suggestions much further, would be to write a detailed treatise on education, which we do not purpose.
"He rumpled Bill Chambers's 'air for 'im as he passed a thing Bill never can a-bear and gave Henery Walker, wot was drinking beer, a smack on the back wot nearly ruined 'im for life.

As soon as the screw stopped, and the little craft began to roll on the long swell, Morris Woolridge put aside the "Chambers's" in which he had been reading up Assyria and Babylon, and went out of the cabin into the standing-room.

The people of Agen, resident in Paris, also gave him a banquet, at which Jasmin recited a poem composed for the occasion. One of his evenings was spent at the house of Madame la Marquise de Barthelemy.

He had his Bible with him the one given him long ago by his mother and a bound volume of Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, and three copies of the Times newspaper nearly two years old, and a few numbers of an American paper called the Picayune.
We have now run out of everything for that purpose, and are obliged to make all sorts of shifts. The two tarpaulins that I brought from Mr. Chambers's station for mending the bags, are all used up some time ago, and nearly all the spare bags; the sewing-twine has been used long since, and we are obliged to make some from old bags.

London: Bentley. 1051. See No 291. A sketch of this famous retreat will appear in a forthcoming volume of Chambers's Pocket Miscellany.
