Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures and Addresses in Aid of Popular Education: Including a Lecture on the Poetry of Pope This collection of Lectures and Addresses, delivered by the Earl of Carlisle before Mechanics´ Institutions and other Societies of a like nature, is published, with his Lordships permission, by the Committee of the "Yorkshire Union of Mechanics´ Institutes." In Yorkshire, this valuable class of institutions has flourished more than in any other part of the kingdom, owing, in a considerable measure, to the existence of a "Union" which now comprises 120 Institutes, containing about 20,000 members. Of that "Union," and of many of the individual Institutes, the Earl of Carlisle has been one of the earliest, most constant, and most generous friends; he gave them his high sanction and active assistance whilst Member for the West Riding, and did not withdraw it after his removal from the Lower to the Upper House of Parliament. The Lectures on "The Poetry of Pope" and on his Lordship´s "Travels in America" were spontaneously offered by the Noble Earl to the Mechanics´ Institution and Literary Society of Leeds, as the central Institution of Yorkshire, and were delivered to crowded and admiring audiences. The manuscript being presented to the Committee of the "Yorkshire Union," they were published in a cheap form, and many thousand copies were circulated among the Institutes of that and the neighbouring counties. They have also been published in various and large impressions in the United States. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
