Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John Howard: With Comments on His Character and Philanthropic Labours In his schoolboy days the writer purchased Howard's "First Book on Prisons." Attracted at first by its curious pictures, he soon became interested in the explanations. For a time the book was read as entertaining. It afforded all the excitement of a novel or a tragedy. It was a favourite volume; and, erelong, a i eeling of admiration towards its author was enkindled. Fourteen years ago the writer was called to officiate occasionally in a County Gaol, and during the last ten years it has been his constant duty. Throughout this time his early purchase has been better appreciated. He has become personally acquainted with much that is described, and experience has taught him the truth and wisdom of Howard's words. It became a book for the study. He discovered that another volume had issued from the same pen, - he searched diligently for that also, and commissioned booksellers, if possible, to procure it. But for years his efforts were vain; at length, to his astonishment and delight, he found it. He had bought it as another book, - for it had been bound up in covers bearing a different title.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, an original combination of biography, cultural history, and media studies, investigates the first moment in history when philanthropy was used as a self-standing claim to fame and philanthropists started being considered as a distinct breed of public figures. In its search for the cause of this development, it examines the way in which public images of early philanthropists in different parts of Europe were shaped in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The work draws on a comparison between British prison reformer John Howard, Alsatian pastor and humanitarian Jean-Frédéric Oberlin, and Stanisław Staszic, a key figure of Enlightenment politics in Congress Poland. Revealing parallel mechanisms at play in different national contexts, it argues that famous philanthropists ushered in a new genre of fame, ‘philanthropic celebrity’, that placed Enlightenment ideals about virtue within the framework of early celebrity culture. The book is primarily aimed at advanced students and scholars of history, cultural studies, and social sciences, especially those interested in the concepts of fame and celebrity and in the origins of modern humanitarianism.
