ABSTRACT
The child was scarcely yet three years old, when the feelings of Cloudesley prompted him to transport him to a different scene. All that related to the future destination of Julian was yet in obscurity; he might by some unexpected event, without the concurrence, and even in defiance of the efforts of those by whom he had been made an outcast and an exile, be restored to his proper station. Cloudesley resolved, that he should be so educated, and brought up / in such habits, as should prevent him from being a disgrace to any condition in which he might be called to move. His present pretended father had the means amply in his power to do him justice in that respect. Situated as he was, at a distance from his native soil, and with his activities necessarily contracted into a narrow circle, Cloudesley gradually came to consider the education, the improvement and well being of his ward as the great business of his thoughts.
