Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Vol. II. Book II. Continued. CHAPTER XII. THE BEMERSLEY BOOK-ROOM, 1821-43. XPERIENCE, temperament and policy all combined to make Hugh Bourne publisher and pressman. His character had been shaped and a new direction given to his life by the printed word. Though naturally taciturn and, like INI oses, not elo({uent .. .but slow of speech and of a slow tongue, he was communicative through another medium than that of speech. All along he obeyed a pretty steady ini})ulse to express himself in manuscript and type to externalise his own convictions and his impressions of the facts before him, as his life-long journalising, and his innumerable memoranda respecting past and current events clearly show. In all this he was the direct opposite of William Clowes, who was averse from the use of the pen. For him the inside of a printing-office had few attractions, yet, like A aron, he A vas naturally eloquent, and could speak well. Moreover, as a practical man, Hugh Bourne knew what power there was in the press as an instrument of propagandism ;and, as one of the founders and directors of a new denomination, he may have had the ambition to copy, in his own modest way, the example of John Wesley whom he so much admired who was one of the most voluminous authors and extensive publishers of his own, or indeed of. any, time. So Hugh Bourne spublications ranged from a somewhat bulky Ecclesiastical History to a four-page collection ofF amily Receipts, which tells how to relieve a cow choked with a turnip, and how to provide a cheap and wholesome travelling dinner for fourpence. Whence, it will be seen, that the doings of Popes and Councils as well as the small details of domestic and personal economy, alike came within the purview of his printed observations. These characteristics and habits may be seen at work inH ugh Bourne even before 1811.
