Here is an old man teaching his son to read. In those days there were no printed books;—all were written; and so books were very scarce. Gentlemen used to send their sons to be educated by the monks. They used to have the most books. Nearly all the copies of the Bible were in their keeping. There was a copy chained to a pillar in old St. Paul's Church in London.
