About This Book

The daughter presents a detailed chronological portrait from modest family origins through boyhood, army service, and early struggles for work and reputation, following his development into a prominent public lecturer and organizer. It chronicles provincial tours, debates, and the founding and editorship of a controversial journal, with accounts of government prosecutions and court cases arising from published views. Interwoven are personal episodes of marriage, family responsibilities, financial hardship, charity work, and involvement in reform movements, while appendices and a collaborator's contribution examine later parliamentary contests and the political and philosophical positions he defended.
