Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating glimpse into 19th-century England through the lens of the author's personal journey. Born into a humble Cornish village, the author recounts a childhood marked by limited opportunities and a fervent desire for knowledge. The narrative then follows his early attempts at self-improvement, from lecturing to political activism, and his eventual move to Manchester and London. Through vivid anecdotes and insightful reflections, the author paints a picture of a society grappling with issues of poverty, education, and political reform. We witness the harsh realities of the window tax and the Corn Laws, the impact of the Chartist movement, and the author's own brush with the criminal justice system. Yet, amidst these challenges, the author's unwavering optimism shines through. He finds solace in the beauty of nature, the power of ideas, and the kindness of strangers. His experiences fuel his commitment to social justice and his belief in the potential for positive change. Ultimately, this book is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the transformative power of education and self-belief. It reminds us that even amidst darkness, there is always the possibility for light and progress. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

This English journalist and newspaper owner was at heart a reformer and philanthropist; his largesse helped create schools, hospitals, convelescent homes, art galleries and 24 libraries; twice he refused a knighthood from Queen Victoria. ANS, 1p, 5" X 7¼", London, England, 1903 April 2. Addressed to "Madam." Very good. Cryptic note in response to a request: "Though I have been asked many times to answer questions somewhat similar to yours I have never answered one of them. You are, however, quite welcome to make what use you may think proper of the enclosed." An attractive example.
