The second was a long period of travel and self-education. He wandered through the forest of Ardennes, making observations and collecting specimens of minerals, plants, reptiles, and insects. He spent some years in the upper Pyrenees, at Tarbes. From Antwerp in the east he bent his steps to Brest, in the most westerly part of Brittany, and from Montpellier to Nismes he traveled across France.
Thus from the very first did we three join fast in a common struggle towards and on behalf of the higher life, and even if we have not always remained in the like close outward bonds of union, we have from that time to this, now near upon fifteen years, never lost our comradeship in the inner life and our common endeavour after self-education.
Having a firm trust, that to you every other object is considered subordinate to that of advancement in the spiritual life, it must be a very important consideration whether, and how far, the self-education you may bestow on yourself will help you towards its attainment.
The name had a magnetic effect upon me, the more so as during my self-development and self-education it had seemed to me an aspiration a something perhaps never to be familiarly known, yet distinct enough, and at all events inspiriting.
Is a whole life's record of self-education and honest labor to be thus obliterated by the word of my most bitter enemy?" "Your bitter enemy? ..." she asked. "Sir Marmaduke? ..." "Aye!

On the other hand, he knew that their opportunities for self-education were not great, and that they had to toil in the meantime for daily bread, at the rate of about 3 pounds a month! Following Captain Dan, Oliver soon reached the ladder-way. While slowly and in silence ascending the ladders; they heard a sound of music above them.
Perhaps the most remarkable instance of what self-education can do is to be found in the achievements of Mr. J.L. Garvin. He received no formal education at all in the public school or university sense, and he began to work for his living at an early age.
