Description: Samuel Smiles (1812–1904) was a Scottish government reformer and author famous for his book “Self-Help”, which championed frugal living and argued that the existence of poverty was mainly due to irresponsible habits. The book has been hailed as "the bible of mid-Victorian liberalism" and immediately made a celebrity of Smiles. In “Character”, Smiles explores the importance of a person's nature and personality in daily life, as well as the positive effects of fostering certain characteristics. Contents include: “Influential Character”, “Home Power”, “Companionship and Examples”, “Work”, “Courage”, “Self-control”, “Duty”, “Truthfulness”, “Temper”, “Manner”, “Art”, “Companionship of Books”, “Companionship of Marriage”, and “The Discipline of Experience”.
