Book Description
Excerpt from Memoir of Robert Wheaton: With Selections From His Writings Robert Wheaton, the youngest child of Henry and Catherine Wheaton, was born in New York on the 5th of October, 1826. A few months after his birth his father was appointed Charged d'Affaires to Denmark, and sailed for that country in June, 1827. The first ten years of Roberts life, with the exception of a short visit to this country at too early an age for him to receive any durable impression, were spent in Copenhagen. Every facility for education is afforded in that capital; teachers are numerous and moderate in their charges, being for the most part young men studying for the different professions, and bearing the expressive title of Candidal., who are glad of an opportunity to acquire the means of pursuing their own studies. Robert and Henry Edward, his elder and only brother, therefore received private instruction from teachers qualified for the task. Their mother was almost invariably present at their lessons, and exacted from her sons that respect and submission towards those who taught them, which are the surest means of enabling the young to profit by what they learn, as well as of softening the task of education to the teacher.
