Henry Harrison was a sort of retainer of the family, and long continued in their Service.
Little is known of the boy's education.

It was certainly of a very inferior description.

Like George Stephenson, Harrison always had a great difficulty in making himself understood, either by speech or writing.

Indeed, every board-school boy now receives a better education than John Harrison did a hundred and eighty years ago.

But education does not altogether come by reading and writing.
