Lame Jervas is a short story written by Maria Edgeworth, an 18th and 19th century Irish author known for her moral tales and social commentary. The story follows the life of Jervas, a young man who was born with a limp and is therefore treated poorly by his family and community. Despite this, Jervas is determined to make something of himself and works hard to become a successful businessman. Along the way, he faces challenges and setbacks, but ultimately triumphs over adversity and proves his worth to those around him. The story is a powerful commentary on the importance of perseverance and the dangers of prejudice and discrimination.Every day afforded me fresh occasion to form comparisons between the sultan and his son; and my attachment to my pupil every day increased. My pupil! It was with astonishment I sometimes reflected that a young prince was actually my pupil. Thus an obscure individual, in a country like England, where arts, sciences, and literature are open to all ranks, may obtain a degree of knowledge which an eastern despot, in all his pride, would gladly purchase with ingots of his purest gold.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
