The Life of David Lloyd George, Vol. 2: With a Short History of the Welsh People (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
There still lingers in many districts and among all classes a superstitious belief in signs and omens, especially in matters relating to the great mysteries of birth and death. The Scottish poet Burns tells us that at his birth the gossip keekit in his loof, preliminary to her forecast of his lifes career. In the poor home at Chorlton-on-M edlock the gossip was not wanting. The maternity nurse, who was in attendance on that seventeenth day of January, 1863, when David Lloyd George was born, was, like the father, impressed with the fine curly hair of the babe. Holding him in her arms she exclaimed enthusiastically :A child that has such beautiful waves in his hair will easily make his living in two countries. That this dictum made a deep impression upon the mother was evident from her frequent references to it, and from the fact that she invariably recalled it at every upward movement in the career of her gifted son. It lies beyond the purpose of this work to determine whether the delineation of destiny can be discerned either in the curl of the hair or in the shape of the lines on the hand.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a prominent figure in Welsh history whose childhood was marked by hardship and a strong sense of community. The author takes us back to a time when poverty was rife in rural Wales, and where the local school functioned as a kind of childcare centre. The book explores the protagonistââ â¢s experiences growing up in a small, devoutly Baptist village, where the local school was a National school with a strong Anglican emphasis. A keen observer of the world around him, the young protagonist quickly developed a deep understanding of the political landscape of the time, particularly the stark divisions between the landed gentry and the peasantry. The author vividly depicts the young protagonistââ â¢s early encounters with these political struggles, including his rebellious refusal to recite the Anglican Creed. Through the lens of this one individualââ â¢s early life, the book offers a powerful glimpse into the broader social and political landscape of Wales in the late nineteenth century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
