Locke Amsden Or The Schoolmaster is a novel written by Daniel P. Thompson. The story is set in the early 19th century in a small town in New England, and it follows the life of Locke Amsden, a young man who becomes a schoolmaster. Locke is a bright and ambitious young man who dreams of making a difference in the world. He is determined to become a teacher, despite the challenges he faces. The novel explores Locke's struggles as a schoolmaster and his efforts to improve the education system in his town. Locke's journey is filled with obstacles, including a difficult relationship with his father, financial struggles, and romantic entanglements. However, he remains steadfast in his commitment to education and his students. The novel also touches on broader themes such as social class, religion, and the role of education in society. It provides a vivid depiction of life in rural New England during the early 19th century and offers insights into the challenges faced by educators during this time. Overall, Locke Amsden Or The Schoolmaster is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of a young man determined to make a difference in his community.He was received with much rough cordiality by Bunker, and with some show of respect by his mastiff-mannered boys. The good dame of the house soon began to bestir herself in preparation for a meal for the new master and his brother, the latter of whom, it was understood, after obtaining refreshment for himself and horse, was to return home that evening.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
