Wilton School; or, Harry Campbell's Revenge

A farm boy named Harry, caught between an absent seafaring father and a chronically ill mother, is sent to a boarding school where he endures bullying, suspicion, and disciplinary trials after being accused of cribbing. The account alternates between the family's domestic anxieties and vivid episodes at school: fights with a chief tormentor, fleeting alliances, public humiliation, and investigative hearings. Through setbacks and steadfast friendships, the narrative traces how injustice is confronted, secrets are uncovered, and familial and school relationships are ultimately mended, offering a study of childhood resilience, honor, and the social dynamics of period school life.
