Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, Vol. 1 of 2 We hear sometimes of an action for damages against the unqualified medical practitioner, who has deformed a broken limb in pretending to heal it. But, what about the hundreds of thousands of minds that have been deformed for ever by the incapable pettifoggers who have pretended to form them? I make mention of the race, as of the Yorkshire school masters, in the past tense. Though it has not yet finally disappeared, it is dwindling daily. A long day's work remains to be done about us in the way of education, Heaven knows but great improvements and facilities towards the attainment of a good one have been furnished, of late years, to those who can afford to pay for it.
