Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

Europe, and into most of those of Asia and America require no apology other than that which the author himself has seen fit to set down in the opening paragraphs of his work. The life, as conceived and chronicled by himself, of an author whose thoughts have arrested and held the attention of more than a generation of readers, cannot fail to be of interest, even when, as in the present case, there is nothing eventful, apart from the writing of his books, to be recorded. Dr Smiles first book was published in 1836, and he continued to write till nearly the close of the century. The period of his literary labours, therefore, is almost exactly coincident with the reign of the late Queen Victoria, the age pre-eminently of mechanical invention. Dr Smiles achievement is that by common consent he is recognised as the authorised and pious chronicler of the men who founded the industrial greatness of England. His works, therefore, have a historical value peculiarly their own.
