It was before the introduction of state elementary education, so the book owner would have come from a relatively wealthy family. The school would have been private and could have been a very small establishment, a vicar or tutor working from his own home, taking on day or boarding pupils. The curate in my village regularly took in 3/4 boys and prepared them in Latin, Greek and geometry for university entrance in the 1850's - I know this because "pupils" were recorded in a census entry and also I found a newspaper advert advertising his services.
