Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Self-Help was a book published in 1859 by Samuel Smiles. It has been called âthe bible of mid-Victorian liberalism.â It sold 20,000 copies within one year of its publication. By the time of Smiles' death in 1904 it had sold over a quarter of a million copies. Robert Blatchford, a socialist activist, said it was âone of the most delightful and invigorating books it has been my happy fortune to meet withâ and argued it should be taught in schools. In it, Smiles denounces âthe worship of power, wealth, success, and keeping up appearances.â Samuel Smiles (23 December 1812 â 16 April 1904), was a Scottish author and reformer. Cover photography by Paul Spremulli.

About: Excerpt from the Preface: âThe object of the book briefly is, to re-inculcate these old-fashioned but wholesome lessonsâwhich perhaps cannot be too often urged,âthat youth must work in order to enjoy,âthat nothing creditable can be accomplished without application and diligence,âthat the student must not be daunted by difficulties, but conquer them by patience and perseverance,âand that, above all, he must seek elevation of character, without which capacity is worthless and worldly success is naught.
