Book Description
Excerpt from The Rural Sabbath: A Poem, in Four Books; And Other Poems The education of Mr. Gookin was but slender, as he at an early age assisted his father in his profession. His first attempts towards a permanent settlement, were at two boarding-schools near London, which he quitted with disgust, and never recalled to his memory without expressions of aver sion and contempt. In 1764 he was elected writing-master and accountant to the free school at Lancaster, a situation he held for twenty years, at the end of which term he removed to Nottingham, to assist Mr. Blanchard in establishing his Academy there. At that place he continued eight years, and then retired to his native town, where he employed himself chiefly in lite rary pursuits, and domestic occupations and amusements; sometimes visiting London, where he resided with his friend Romney, the 'celiebrated painter, at whose house at Kendal he expired, after a tedious illness.
