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.

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.

Excerpt from Woodrow Wilson: The Man and His Work, a Biographical Study In this work I have tried to give a systematic account of what Woodrow Wilson has done, and of the princi ples on which he acts. The latter is really the more important, for information without insight is of little value and indeed may be a disadvantage. Besides re counting events I have therefore endeavored to exhibit them in their bearing upon the public welfare, apart from considerations of party advantage; and also to point out their constitutional significance. These are the things that count in the reckonings of history; these are the things that ought to determine present judg ment; these are the things I have had in mind in writing this biography.

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.

Excerpt from Biographies of Scientific Men The object of the author in writing this book is to exhibit views of the characters and doings of a few of the world's great men of science, and the influence which their work has exerted on the progress of science and civilization. The biographical, historical, and scientific details have been compiled from the best available sources; original papers, documents, and in some cases autograph letters, etc., have been consulted. There is also a considerable amount of original matter collected in this country and abroad. The present volume is a "study" of a group of men of science of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, their work, and the times in which they lived. "It is only by the study of what has been that we are able to understand what is" and science is no exception to the rule. Historical data add greatly to the interest of science, and dry facts become living pictures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
