Per- haps there were no schools near at hand ; but, be this as it may, Bob's children, like their neighbors in like circumstances, were left entirely to themselves in the way of book-learning. When Geoi'ge was about eight years of age, his father removed to another colliery concern at Dewley Burn, where he filled a similar situation — ...that of shoveling in coal to a furnace which kept a steam- engine at work.
