When 15 years old I left school, and was restless for want of some fixed occupation, I was therefore sent to my cousin Isaac Hinton who was a book publisher in Warwick Square, London.
The change from country to town life caused me severe headache, every afternoon, which unfitted me for work - the novelty of life in London induced me to take long walks in every direction, and I prided myself on not allowingt anyone to walk faster than I did in Fleet Street, which at that time was always crowded.
