London: The "Clarion" Press. Very Good. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. "The Clarion", a socialist weekly, was established by Robert Blatchford in 1890, a Manchester journalist who had spent some years as a private soldier. The paper first appeared in Manchester on 2nd December, 1891. Blatchford announced that the newspaper would follow a "policy of humanity; a policy not of party, sect or creed; but of justice, of reason and mercy." The Clarion newspaper also became involved in a wide-range of different activities including missionary vans, cycling clubs, choirs, handicraft guilds and holiday camps. The newspaper also sponsored Cinderella Clubs who entertained children from the slums. Robert Blatchford boasted that he would "convert England to Socialism in seven years". However, it soon became clear that Blatchford had overestimated the power of the Clarion and when he was asked about this a few years later, he replied that "the British working classes are not fit for Socialism yet". This is a 'Birthday' Book produced for sale by the Clarion - with quotations, for every day of the year, by Blachford and other writers (and their given 'nom de plumes') who contributed to the paper. The covers are green cloth/gilt with an art nouveau style design SIGNED by 'FRNK Chesworth'. Burgundy/gilt endpapers, and each page has a blue 'art nouveau' border to the dates/quotes. A former owner has filled in a few names against a few of the dates, but o/wise is unfilled in. I would date it at circa 1890/1905? from the style of binding - and the quotations are as you would expect from 'The Clarion' !
