Local Description

pp xvi, 517. Frontis portrait. Contemporary half calf. A good copy of this interesting biography

Description

A biography of the inventor of the steam engine by the famous, or perhaps infamous, Victorian author of "Self-Help". This was the first biography in what would become a series on the lives of great men of industry and business, which led George Bernard Shaw to describe Smiles as a "modern Plutarch".
