Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the British and Foreign Bible Society, Vol. 3 With the Jubilee of the Society the England of the Hanoverian kings may be said to have vanished completely into history. The thirty years which form the fourth period of our narrative were pure Victorian. It was not simply a difference in name but in the social and industrial life of the nation. The results of invention and free commerce were seen in miles of new streets eating up old fields and orchards; in countless work-shops, mills, and factories; in mines and collieries; in ship-yards, docks, busy wharves, Atlantic liners, steamships bound for the Antipodes and the Far East. In 1875 the booking of 600,000,000 railway passengers in the United Kingdom showed how completely the uneventful days of isolated communities had passed away. Despite an immense emigration, the Census registered an increase of 8,000,000 of people between 1851 and 1881. The effect of these changes was broadened and deepened by the influence of the Press and the Platform, the Franchise of 1867, and the Education Act of 1870. The impulses of a new time throbbed into the life of the Churches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
