Paperback

Excerpt from Through Spain to the Sahara
Concert was over, we went into the chapel and the class-room. The latter was decorated with pictures, maps, and honourable mentions, of former Met tray boys, who had fought in the Crimea, in Algeria, in Mexico. Portraits of the Emperor were not wanting, nor, indeed, anything to en courage these poor little outcasts to love their country, to go out into the world and to make men of themselves. I was pleased to find the wards and dormitories also decorated with pictures and medallions, the highly-prized rewards of good conduct while the outside of every building was trellised with grapes, a more material reward, not of special good conduct, but of indiscriminate industry.
