"Character" is a self-help book written by Samuel Smiles, a Scottish author and reformer, and first published in 1871. Samuel Smiles was a proponent of the philosophy of self-help and believed in the power of individual effort and character development as a means to achieve personal success and contribute to the betterment of society. In "Character," Smiles explores the significance of personal character in shaping one's destiny. The book is a collection of biographical sketches and anecdotes featuring individuals who, through their strong moral character, perseverance, and industriousness, achieved success and made positive contributions to their communities. Key themes and ideas in "Character" include: Self-Reliance: Smiles emphasizes the importance of self-reliance and individual initiative. He argues that relying on one's own abilities and taking responsibility for one's actions are crucial elements of building a strong character. Perseverance and Hard Work: The book underscores the value of hard work and perseverance in the face of challenges. Smiles presents examples of individuals who overcame adversity through determination and a strong work ethic. Integrity and Morality: "Character" promotes the idea that personal integrity and moral values are foundational to building a strong character. Smiles advocates for honesty, integrity, and ethical behavior as essential components of a successful and fulfilling life. Role Models: The book features biographical sketches of various historical figures, scientists, inventors, and social reformers whose exemplary characters serve as role models for readers. These stories are intended to inspire and provide practical insights into the development of good character. Social Responsibility: While emphasizing individual effort, Smiles also discusses the idea that individuals with strong characters have a responsibility to contribute positively to society. He highlights the idea that personal success should be accompanied by a sense of duty toward others. "Character" is part of Samuel Smiles's larger body of work in the genre of self-help literature, which gained popularity during the Victorian era. The book reflects the prevailing Victorian values of hard work, self-discipline, and moral rectitude. While some aspects of Smiles's philosophy may be seen as reflective of the values of his time, "Character" remains a historical and influential work in the self-help genre, offering insights into the principles of personal development and success.

A bestseller immediately after its publication, "Self-Help" propelled its author to fame and rapidly became one of Victorian Britain's most important statements on the allied virtues of hard work, thrift, and perseverance. Smiles' most celebrated book sold 20,000 copies in its first year of publication and later became known as the 'bible of mid-Victorian liberalism'. "Self-Help" is often viewed as the precursor of today's motivational and self-help literature. Here, Samuel Smiles' text is interpreted for the modern day world. Steve Shipside illustrates the timeless nature of Smiles' insights by bringing them to life through modern business, socio and political case studies. This brilliant interpretation of "Samuel Smiles' Self-Help" is an entertaining accompaniment to one of the most famous books on self-improvement ever written.

The results of the working of railways have been in many respects different from those anticipated by their projectors. One of the most unexpected has been the growth of an immense passenger-traffic. The Stockton and Darlington line was projected as a coal line only, and the Liverpool and Manchester as a merchandise line. Passengers were not taken into account as a source of revenue, for at the time of their projection, it was not believed that people would trust themselves to be drawn upon a railway by an "explosive machine," as the locomotive was described to be. Indeed, a writer of eminence declared that he would as soon think of being fired off on a ricochet rocket, as travel on a railway at twice the speed of the old stagecoaches.
