Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Fifty Years: The Story of the Working Men´s Club and Institute Union; Together With Brief Impressions of the Men of the Movement This little book is written at the direction of the Council of the Working Men´s Club and Institute Union in order that some souvenir of the close of the Union´s Fiftieth Year may exist, and some record be made of a society which has become, by reason of its 1,500 constituent bodies and their half-a-million adult male members, an important part of the social economy of Great Britain. Enthusiastic pioneers are seldom men to whom dates, exact figures, and the careful filing of contemporary records and documents appear as matter of importance. The whole of the Minutes of the Union meetings between 1863 and 1883 have been lost. Consequently herein there must be some unavoidable lack of precision in many early references and particulars, and doubtless (what is the more regrettable) many omissions of the names of earlier workers, the faithful who may never become even so famous as to achieve mention in the story of a movement to which their lives were devoted. The scanty means of reference may even prevent the placing of events in correct chronological order in the first ten years. From that time onwards reports appear to have been kept at the Union office, with some greater effort at accuracy and system. But they are scanty and incomplete, and provide slight material from which a story may be built. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
