Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review: April, 1872 Of Henry Cooke's schools, school-masters, and school - boy days, some interesting accounts have been preserved. His first teacher was a Mr. Joseph Pollock, a man of limited edu cation and boundless conceit; but on the whole an excellent teacher, as teachers were in those days. To his credit, be it told, he recognized the ability of his pupil. Young Cooke soon attracted his attention. He was then an emaciated, deli cate looking boy, with sharp features, et black hair, and pierc ing grey eyes. His movements were quick; his voice clear and ringing; his speech easy and uent. The ordinary tasks of the school gave him little trouble he learned them as if by instinct. Pollock was fond of him. Pointing to young Cooke, he said one day, with an air of dignity, to an intimate friend, 'i tell you, sir, that that lad, if spared, will rival, if not excel myself.'
