Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographies of Working Men There at long intervals around some stern and simple Scottish church. Yet the hardy people who inhabit this wild and chilly moorland country may well be considered to rank among the best raw material Of society in the Whole of Britain; for from the peasant homes of these Southern Scotch Highlands have come forth, among a host of scarcely less distinguished natives, three men, at least, who deserve to take their place in the very front line of British thinkers or workers - Thomas Telford, Robert Burns, and Thomas Carlyle. By origin, all three alike belonged in the very strictest sense to the working classes; and the story of each is full of lessons or of warnings for every one of us: but that of Telford is perhaps the most encouraging and the most remarkable of all, as showing how much may be accomplished by energy and perseverance, even under the most absolutely adverse and difficult circumstances. Near the upper end Of Eskdale, in the tiny village of Westerkirk, a young shepherd's wife gave birth to a son on the oth of August, 17 5 7. Her husband, John Telford, was employed in tending sheep on a neighbouring farm, and he and his Janet occupied a small cottage close by, with mud walls and rudely thatched roof, such as in southern England even the humblest agricultural labourer would scarcely consent willingly to inhabit. Before the child was three months old, his father died; and Janet Telford was left alone in the world with her unweaned baby. But in remote country dis.

Book excerpt: Biographies Of Working Men This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

This book was released on 2018-10-13 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Working Man He found my mother a young blooming woman at or in the vicinity of Ayton - a pretty village as you will say if you ever see it. She was a servant in a farmhouse previous to marriage, and the daughter of John Orkney, a working man. She had a female ancestor, reputed as a witch, who is still remembered for her sayings and doings. People in Ayton to this day, to justify some thing unusual said or done by themselves, add to it, As old Eppy Orkney said, or, As old Eppy Orkney did. Perhaps my progenitors who lived nearer to her time than I, did not feel much honour in Eppy's reputa tion for witchcraft. But for myself I confess to have always had a veneration for this, the only one of my progenitors who was in any way distinguished above the common level of men and women. I have no doubt that she was a woman of superior energy and intellect, whom narrower minds around her could not comprehend. Had she been remarkable only for her weakness of mind, her sayings and doings would have perished with her or soon after her. My parents being a careful pair, began housekeeping with a good stock of furniture. But I have heard them tell of the wretched hovel of a house they lived in. The houses of the labourers in the south of Scotland are generally only sheds to this day, even most of those newly buiAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is possible that men speculate as much as ever, that there are as many poets and paint ers and sculptors, that there is as much love and cul ture and appreciation of art, as much patient study and thought but the entire age is stamped with an unmistakable energy and force. It is an age of gigantic and universal toil, possessed with the idea that there is work to be done 3 restless and insatiable, resolute and quiet, in pursuing this idea, a practical, sagacious, ready - witted age. W ork is lauded and glorified, even for its own sake, and without regard to its end. It is held to be something sacred, a thoroughly manly and almost devout pursuit. Nay, it has been exalted into a kind of deity in our day, to be worshipped with a pure and rigorous devotion. Life is to be doing, because it is felt more than ever that there is power in.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Fifty Years: The Story of the Working Men's Club and Institute Union; Together With Brief Impressions of the Men of the Movement Club News. In the section devoted to The Men of the Movement, the sketch of the present Secretary of the Union is by another hand than mine, and where it diverges from fact into opinion, such Opinion must be accepted with reserve. It is the unfortunate lot of the poor craftsman to be doomed to constant apology for his work manship. I must apologise for this book and plead that it was suddenly commissioned, hastily undertaken, and hurriedly accomplished in the Odd moments of too few and too busy days. It is unworthy of the great movement whose rise and progress it purports to chronicle-a move ment whose full story may, I trust, soon command the service of a more able and more leisured pen than mine. One other regret - that time did not permit me to collect some views Of the exteriors and interiors Of club houses. Those which appear are from such photographs as happened to be in my possession at the time of going to press.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Noble Workers: A Book of Examples for Young Men There is no more important work than that of stimula ting the minds of the young to exertion, that they may be effective workers, and discharge properly the responsibili ties of their various spheres. The world needs workmen, brave and true; and every one should be ambitious to find his place and to fill it worthily. And of the means of stim ulating the minds of youth, one of the most obvious and the most powerful is the living example. A good biogra phy, presenting a striking portraiture of trials, struggles and successes, in actual life, comes like an inspiration to the young man who is just entering on the stage of the world, As he reads, compares and reflects, he feels the same spirit thrilling in his veins, and resolves bravely to enter the conflict, to battle with difficulty and opposition as others have battled, that, like them, he may win the crown of triumph and deserve the gratitude of his age and of the mankind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Workingman and Social Problems During recent years many earnest men and women have surrendered lives of comparative luxury and given themselves to study and to work in settlement and city mission, in order to see and feel the actual conditions of the toilers in shop and tenement. This is a hopeful sign. The movement cannot but result in a better understanding between the masses and the classes. This little book is written with the hope that it may help in the work. It is written out of an experience which has not been altogether voluntary. It is also written largely from the standpoint of the man who is to be reached and helped. Some of the material used has appeared in the form of special articles in several periodicals, although in nearly every instance the articles have been considerably expanded. Chapters I, II, III, IV, and V were printed in the Sunday School Times, under the title which has been given to this book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pleading for Justice As I have struggled for a living, have worked as a plough-boy on the hills of Georgia, have toiled long hours in cotton mills and passed eigh teen tons of coal a day into the furnace of a loco motive, I have come in close contact with working men. I have lived in their humble homes and know them to be a noble people, and I am proud to consider myself one of them. I have shared in the poverty of the labourers; I know their heartaches, their prejudices, their weaknesses and their strength. I know how they feel when they think that capital is making more than it is entitled to, for labour knows far more than the general public thinks about the profits of the business in which it is engaged.
