"Beware of the person of one book."
— Thomas Aquinas

London: The Self-Help Press, no date [circa 1910]. [Self-Help / Political Biography] RARE ORIGINAL PAMPHLET. Octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.96. Publisher's paper covers illustrated with a photograph by Elliott and Fry, stapled twice and priced at 2d. Crumbling to dust as you read this; as brown as they come and dreadfully brittle. How does it even still exit? Front cover and first leaf loose. There is only one copy in UK libraries (at the National Library of Wales) according to Library Hub Discover (successor to COPAC). Poor, but unlikely to be found in better condition. That's right, you too could take part in the last British cavalry charge, and have a hand in creating the Welfare State! Number two in a series of pamphlets giving a potted history of the exploits of various 'successful' people (most seem to be politicians). Item #56407
