Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lecture on the History Objects of Co-Operation: Delivered at the Co-Operative Hall, Downing Street, Manchester, on Monday Evening, April 22nd, 1878 On Monday evening a public meeting was held in the Downing-street hall, for the purpose of hearing a lecture on cooperation, by Mr. Thomas Hughes, Q.C. There was a numerous attendance. Professor Adamson, of Owens College, presided, and, in introducing Mr. Hughes, said that for many years that gentleman had been recognised as one of the foremost of those who had devoted themselves to the noble task of social improvement. Of the co-operative movement, which was a very important factor in that progress, he had had a very wide experience, and whatever he might say must be of the greatest value. (Hear, hear.) It seemed to him to be very desirable that, from time to time, some of those who were qualified to speak should review the principles on which the co-operative movement had hitherto proceeded. There was too much danger that the merely material side of the matter should be allowed to become the more prominent, and that the real and more important forces - the moral forces - should be forgotten. He knew no one who was more entitled to speak to them on these matters than Mr. Hughes. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Hughes then delivered his lecture, which was listened to with great attention and frequently applauded. He said: - A favourite - and deservedly favourite - teacher of our day, Mr. M. Arnold, was dwelling in his recent lecture on equality, on the need, becoming always greater as time goes on, of recognising the wellbeing of the many as the true object of human, or, as he would say, of humane effort. "An individual," he writes, "or a class, concentrating their efforts upon their own wellbeing exclusively, do but beget troubles, both for others and themselves also. No individual life can be truly prosperous passed in the midst of those who suffer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
