    Extractions: Samuel Smiles, Author of "Self-Help" When Samuel Smiles (1812-1904) was a schoolboy in Scotland, he was fonder of frolic than of learning. He was not a prize-winner, and so was not one of his teacher’s favorites. One day his master, vexed by his dullness, cried out, "Smiles, you will never be fit for anything but sweeping the streets of your native borough!" From that day the boy’s mates called him by the name of the street sweeper in the little town. But he was not discouraged. " If I have done anything worthy of being remembered ," he wrote, more than sixty years later, when his name was known over the whole world, " it has not been through any superiority of gifts, but only through a moderate portion of them, accompanied, it is true, with energy and the habit of industry and application . As in the case of every one else, I had for the most part to teach myself. . . . Then I enjoyed good health, and health is more excellent than prizes. Exercise, the joy of interest and of activity, the play of the faculties, is the true life of a boy, as of a man. I had also the benefit of living in the country, with its many pleasures and wonders." When he was fourteen, he was apprenticed to a physician. In the intervals of his work, he sought to continue his education by reading. Books were expensive then, but several libraries were open to him.

    http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Literary/BiosEssayists.htm
    
    Extractions: Addison, Joseph The eldest son of a cleric, Addison eventually found himself at Oxford (Queen's and Magdalen). He wrote favourable (whether commissioned, or not) articles concerning certain powerful people and their works; he was duly rewarded with a pension of £300 which allowed Addison to travel extensively throughout the continent for four years. With the victory at Blenheim , in 1704, Addison was commissioned to write The Campaign and this led to further political patronage; he was appointed as a Commissioner of Excise Taxes (the only significant taxes they had in those days). The job as a commissioner, presumably, took little of Addison's time and he was left to pursue his writing. While he had contributed to the Tatler (started by Steele in 1709), Addison started his own paper in 1711, the Spectator ("In the Spectator may be traced the foundations of all that is sound and healthy in modern English thought."

    Extractions: SAMUEL SMILES (1812-1904), a self-made success, was best known for his books on business and motivation. Born the son of a shopkeeper in Haddington, Scotland, Smiles was one of 11 children and, of necessity, learned to be self-reliant. By the age of 20, he had qualified to practice medicine in Edinburgh. He soon tired of medicine and moved to Leeds, England in 1838 where he became editor for the progressive and reformist newspaper the Leeds Times. As a disciple of English philosopher and social reformer Jeremy Bentham, and Scottish reformer and economist James Mill, Smiles believed strongly in material progress based on free trade and individual progress based on hard work and self-development. By 1845, he had moved on to become secretary for a railroad company. An advocate of political and social reform, he admired those who became successes from humble beginnings. As he examined the lives of famous people, he began to formulate the ideas he used for his best-known book, Self-Help (1859). It was so popular at the time it was translated into several languages. This book stressed the value of industry, thrift, and self-improvement and attacked what he called "over-government," a concept very relevant in today's workforce as employees strive to have more say in the workplace. He continued his business and motivational advice in more specific books: Character Thrift (1875), and

    Extractions: (Updated every other Sundayexcept during the summer!) Examples of how, until the mid-20th century, the cultivation of character and virtue was the virtually universal, primary goal of education "The highest education and learning of all is that which teaches us to develop those principles of purity and perfect virtue which Heaven bestowed upon us at our birth, in order that we may acquire the power of influencing for good those amongst whom we are placed, by our precepts and example; a study without an end-for our labors cease only when we have become perfect-an unattainable goal, but one that we must not the less set before us from the very first. It is true that we shall not be able to reach it, but in our struggle toward it we shall strengthen our characters and give stability to our ideas, so that, whilst ever advancing calmly in the same direction, we shall be rendered capable of applying the faculties with which we have been gifted to the best possible account." Confucius (551-479 BC; Chinese philosopher, moralist)  "If you ask what is the good of education in general, the answer is easy: that education makes good men, and that good men act nobly." Plato (c.428-348; Greek philosopher)

35. Book Reviews
    SELFHELP. by Samuel Smiles foreword by Lord Harris. It originated as talks whichjournalist Smiles (1812-1904) gave at evening classes in Leeds, England.  
    http://users.aol.com/vlntryst/review.html
    
    Extractions: V oluntaryists are advocates of non-political, non-violent strategies to achieve a free society. We reject electoral politics, in theory and in practice, as incompatible with libertarian principles. Governments must cloak their actions in an aura of moral legitmacy in order to sustain their power, and political methods invariably strengthen that legitmacy. Voluntaryists seek instead to delegitimize the State through education, and we advocate withdrawal of the cooperation and tacit consent on which State power ultimately depends. These book reviews are brought to you by: Who says issues of justice can best be resolved in legislatures and courts? Back in 1993, Child Protective Services officials charged New York welder Donald Stefan with child abuse, and his son Billy was committed to a boys' "home," although he emphatically denied that he had been abused by his father. He did testify that while subject to the government's "care," he was isolated, beaten and drugged. This book offers a dramatic account of how the Stefan family sought help and found the courageous Mennonite Lapp sisters. Inspired by their religious principles and by individualists like Lysander Spooner, Henry David Thoreau, Frederic Bastiat and Rose Wilder Lane, they did their utmost to obtain justice for the Stefans. Jailed for their efforts, they refused legal assistance and cynical plea bargainsand were ultimately vindicated.
