This 1873 book celebrates the achievements of working men in natural history, while promoting a 'self-help' ideology, stressing how disadvantages could be overcome by ability and determination. Many of his subjects were self-taught, but corresponded with, and were valued by, great names including Joseph Banks and William Jackson Hooker.
