It is, you dear humdrum! what the dictionary calls "nascent." I never liked the word, but it stands for a fact. The Countess here exhibits the weakness of a self-educated intelligence. She does not comprehend the joys of scholarship in her employment of Latinisms. It will be pardoned to her by those who perceive the profound piece of feminine discernment which precedes it.
It was not addressed in Mark Wylder's hand not the least like it. Mark's was a bold, free hand, and if there was nothing particularly elegant, neither was there anything that could be called vulgar in it. But this was a decidedly villainous scrawl in fact it was written as a self-educated butcher might pen a bill.
Lord Lynedale came to my cousin's rooms next day George told me plainly that he made friends with those who would advance him when he was a clergyman and taking an interest in a self-educated author, bade me bring my poems to the Eagle and ask for Dean Winnstay. Lord Lynedale was to marry Dean Winnstay's niece.
BUDÆUS declared that he was both "self-taught and late-taught." The SELF-EDUCATED are marked by stubborn peculiarities.
He was a New Englander of poor family, self-educated, wild for adventure, keen for achievement, eager, ardent, bronze-faced, and keen-eyed, under six feet in height, built like a wedge, but not heavy a young man of twenty- three with strong latent possibilities of character. General Lodge himself explained the difficulties of the situation and what the young surveyor was expected to do.
I'm a self-educated man, I used to hope I should live to hear folk say a self-made Great Man. It's a bitter thing to have the ambition without the genius, to smoulder in the fire that great men shine by!
This gifted but self-educated man, once listening to the children of genius whom he had created about him, exclaimed, "Go it, go it, my boys! they did so at Athens." This self-formed genius could throw up his native mud into the very heaven of his invention! They have consequently less beauty, but greater vigour. But even such pages as those of BARRY'S are the aliment of young genius.
The name is an exceptional one, and the family would seem to have been of the same roving Bedouin-like sort as that of Lincoln's ancestors. He began life as a shoemaker, was wholly self-educated, and changed his name to escape from his early associations. He would seem to have absorbed all the virtue in his family for several generations.
At least nothing worthy of such ire. I only entered on the subject of his Oxford life, and advised him to prepare for it, for his education has as yet been a mere farce. He used to go two or three days in the week to one Potts, a self-educated genius a sort of superior writing-master at the Moorworth commercial school.
We reduced the hours of labor, well educated all the children from infancy, greatly improved the condition of the adults, and cleared upward of three hundred thousand pounds profit." Having won this great success, he fell into an error to which strong, self-educated men are peculiarly liable, he judged other people by himself.
