Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a complete picture of the lives of three generations of one Victorian family, the Booth family of Liverpool. Their story is told through their own writings, including letters written by Alfred Booth, the third-generation merchant, abolitionist, and inventor. The author, his granddaughter, adds insights drawn from her own memories. The book provides glimpses of Victorian life, enterprise, and the Booth family's close connection to the Quaker community.
