Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sam Hobart, the Locomotive Engineer: A Workingman´s Solution of the Labor Problem The life of Sam Hobart, the locomotive engineer, is written to portray the possibilities of happiness and usefulness within the reach of a workingman content to fill the sphere of usefulness awarded him, and willing to lend a helping hand to do work for God and man lying near him and waiting for him. Charles Lamb served as a clerk in the East India Company, and filled such a place in literature and in society as makes us forget how he earned his living, and remember only that he wrote the "Essays of Elia," and lived and labored and companioned with the great of his time, and in so doing became a benefactor for all time. Elihu Burritt was a blacksmith, and became learned in languages and rich in healthful influences that have blessed American civilization, and help now to glorify it in the eyes of the peoples of all lands, and lie remained the Learned Blacksmith to the last. George Stephenson, born in Wylam-on-the-Tyne June 9th, 1781 - the engineer of a coal mine, the inventor of the locomotive in 1815, first to drag coal-cars along a tramway, and afterward fastened to a passenger coach in 1828, the year Sam Hobart was born - developed into one of the ablest of engineers and one of the greatest of inventors, and was content thus to remain to the day of his death.
