About This Item
London: John Chapman, 1851. [7], vi-xi, [2], 6-182pp. Half calf and marbled paper over boards, semi-raised bands, spine in six panels, title and author in gilt to second panel. Gilt faded, paper covering boards chipped to edges, leather rubbed to extremities, small splits to joints but holding. Internally lightly browned and paper cockled throughout, though still easily readable. James Hole (1820-1895), writer and social activist, "He numbered among his friends and correspondents many of the radical thinkers of the day. He was often invited to speak on his social principles, but his voice was strongest in writing - clear, concise, backed up with statistics, practical and organised. Alongside articles for various journals, he published in 1851 ‘Lectures on Social Science and the Organisation of Labour’, setting out his social and economic theories, his belief in the achievability of progress and justice for the working classes" (Thoresby Society). First Edition. Hardback. Fair. 8vo.
