A Scot who originally trained as a doctor before turning to journalism fulltime, Smiles wrote for a popular audience to show people how best to take advantage of the changes being brought about by the industrial revolution which was sweeping Britain and other parts of the world in the first half of the 19th century. In his best known work, SelfHelp he combines Victorian morality with sound free market ideas into moral tales showing the benefits of thrift, hard work, education, perseverance, and a sound moral character. He drew upon the personal success stories of the emerging self-made millionaires in the pottery industry (Josiah Wedgwood), the railway industry (Watt and Stephenson), and the weaving industry (Jacquard) to make his point that the benefits of the market were open to anyone.

"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.

This book is intended as a sequel to "Self-Help," and "Character." It might, indeed, have appeared as an introduction to these volumes; for Thrift is the basis of Self-Help, and the foundation of much that is excellent in Character. The author has already referred to the Use and Abuse of Money; but the lesson is worthy of being repeated and enforced. As he has already observed, -Some of the finest qualities of human nature are intimately related to the right use of money; such as generosity, honesty, justice, and self-denial; as well as the practical virtues of economy and providence. On the other hand, there are their counterparts of avarice, fraud, injustice, and selfishness, as displayed by the inordinate lovers of gain; and the vices of thoughtlessness, extravagance, and improvidence, on the part of those who misuse and abuse the means entrusted to them

Excerpt from Jasmin: Barber, Poet, Philanthropist My attention was first called to the works of the poet Jasmin by the eulogistic articles which appeared in the Revue des Deux Mondes, by De Mazade, Nodier, Villemain, and other well-known reviewers. i afterwards read the articles by Sainte-Beuve, perhaps the finest critic of French literature, on the life and history of Jasmin, in his Portraits Contemporains as well as his admirable article on the same subject in the Causeries du Lundi. While Jasmin was still alive, a translation was published by the American poet Longfellow of "The Blind Girl of Castel-Cuille," perhaps the best of Jasmin's poems. In his note to the translation, Longfellow said that "Jasmin, the author of this beautiful poem, is to the South of France what Burns is to the South Scotland, the representative of the heart of the people;one of those happy bards who are born with their mouths full of birds (la bouco pleno d'aouvelous).
