I got the little education I have, when a boy.

Owen Owen, who was a cousin of my mother's, kept a school at a chapel in the village of Dwyrain, in Anglesey.

It was said of Owen that he never had more than a quarter of a year's schooling, so that he could not teach me much.

I went to his school at seven, and remained with him about a year.

Then he left; and some time afterwards I went for a short period to an old preacher's school, at Brynsieneyn chapel.
