This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
Mrs George Linnaeus Banks, nee Isabella Varley, was born in her parent’s shop on Oldham Street, in the centre of Manchester, on the 25th March 1821. Her father, James Varley, was a pharmacist and along with his wife, Amelia, took an active part in politics in the period before Manchester had any parliamentary representation. He subsequently served as a town councillor, alderman and magistrate. Isabella was brought up on tales of the town’s struggles around the fireside of an evening, and her relatives had first-hand knowledge of the infamous Peterloo Massacre which had taken place within half a mile of her home, less than two years before her birth. Such tales fuelled her interest in Manchester’s history and her work as a writer. She published her first set of poems in 1844 under the title of “Ivy Leaves,” although an early poem, “A Dying Girl to Her Mother,” had been published when she was sixteen years of age by the Manchester Guardian. She authored a number of books, including “Bond Slaves – A Story of Struggle,” dealing with the Luddite movement, although “The Manchester Man,” is her best known novel. Malc Cowle, Manchester 2012
