emma_in_dreamI wrote about Carus Wilson before. He was the headmaster at the school the Brontes were sent to and lives on in the form of Charlotte Bronte’s scathing denunciation of him in *Jane Eyre*.
He edited a magazine and wrote evangelical stories for small children aimed at getting them to REPENT.
Here is another of his charming stories, from his collection *A Child’s First Tales* (1836).
'Look there! Do you not see a man hung by the neck? Oh! It is a sad sight. A rope is tied around his neck to what they call the gal-lows; and there he hangs till he is quite dead.'
