_Playing Soldier_ 54
WHEREIN THE YOUNG READER WILL FIND HOW GEORGE FIGURED AS A
LITTLE SOLDIER AT SCHOOL; WITH SOME REMARKS TOUCHING HIS
WONDERFUL STRENGTH AND ACTIVITY OF BODY, AND COURAGE OF SPIRIT;
AND HOW HE WOULD HAVE FIGURED AS A LITTLE SAILOR, HAD HE NOT
BEEN PREVENTED BY A MOTHER'S ANXIOUS LOVE; WHICH INFLUENCED NOT
ONLY THE WHOLE COURSE OF HIS FUTURE LIFE, BUT ALSO THE DESTINY
OF HIS NATIVE COUNTRY, AND, IT MAY BE, THAT OF THE WHOLE WORLD;
AS THE LITTLE READER WILL FIND OUT FOR HIMSELF. IF HE BUT HAVE
THE PATIENCE TO BEAR UNCLE JUVINELL COMPANY TO THE END OF THIS
INTERESTING HISTORY.
