Hardcover. Condizione: Good. This handsome tree-calf prize volume was awarded to Charles Thomson in 1886, while a pupil at Hutchesons' Boys' Grammar School, Glasgow, several years before the remarkable sequence of prizes he subsequently won at the University of Glasgow. The presentation label records the award to Charles Thomson for Mathematics during the Session 1885-86, under the authority of Hutchesons' Educational Trust, Boys' Grammar School, with facsimile signatures of Thomas Menzies, Rector, and William Wilson, Chairman. The volume provides an interesting early record of Thomson's academic achievement: he subsequently attended the University of Glasgow, where he won fifteen prizes across a notably broad range of subjects before graduating M.A., and later pursued a career in education. Samuel Smiles' Duty, with Illustrations of Courage, Patience, & Endurance belongs to the series of enormously popular works of Victorian moral and social instruction for which Smiles (1812-1904) became famous. Following the success of Self-Help, Smiles used historical and biographical examples to illustrate qualities he regarded as essential to individual character and public life. Duty considers personal responsibility, courage, perseverance, self-discipline and devotion to others, drawing upon the lives and actions of soldiers, sailors, physicians, missionaries, philanthropists and other historical figures. First published in 1880, the work became a characteristic Victorian prize book, its emphasis upon diligence and moral character making it particularly suited to presentation for academic achievement.
