        <ptr target="ukred-8229">"Charles Shaw"s dependance upon a small Sunday school library in Tunstall [...] imparted a magnificent if involuntary scope to his education:

"""I read ""Robinson Crusoe"" and a few other favourite boys" books [...] After these the most readable I could find was Rollin"s ""Ancient History"". His narratives opened a new world [...] [which] I regarded as remote from Tunstall and England as those other worlds I read of in Dick"s ""Christian Philosopher,"" which book I found in the library too ... Then  I read Milton"s ""Paradise Lost"", Klopstock"s ""Messiah"", and later on, Pollock"s ""Course of Time"", and Gilfillan"s ""Bards of the Bible"".These books may look a strange assortment for a boy of fourteen or fifteen to read, but [...] they just happened to fall into my hands""".</ptr>
