Synopsis

This is one of those rare finds where I highlighted so many passages that it became meaningless, and if I ever wanted some insight in future I need only pick a sub-header, flip to a random page, and read two paragraphs. I'll probably get what I'm looking for before I finish.

If I could, I would make this available as an optional read in every school and university. Lord knows we need more people of character.

Cannot recommend highly enough, and cannot wait to revisit in subsequent years. (Moss)

About the author


SAMUEL SMILES is best known today as a prolific author of books that extol the virtues of self-help, character and duty, and of biographies lauding the achievements of famous civil and mechanical engineers among whom are Brindley, Smeaton, Rennie, Boulton, Watt, Telford and the Stephensons, but, oddly, not Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

His books-particularly that on self help-were influential in their day, as is evidenced by their wide popularity and translation into other languages and a number of his titles, among them the title at hand: Character, remain available in modern reprints.
