Beschreibung | James Payn (/peɪn/; 28. Februar 1830 - 25. März 1898) war ein englischer Romanautor und Herausgeber. Er gab u. a. die Zeitschriften Chambers's Journal in Edinburgh und das Cornhill Magazine in London heraus. |
In England, literary pretence is more universal than elsewhere from our method of education.
For my part, I do not feel that the scheme of future happiness, which ought by rights to be in preparation for me, will be at all interfered with by my not meeting again the man I have in my. mind.
How large and varied is the educational bill of fare set before every young gentleman in Great Britain and to judge by the mental stamina it affords him in most cases, what a waste of good food it is!
