Genius And Industry: The Achievements Of Mind Among The Cottages (1851)

By Edwin Paxton Hood

Book Overview

""Genius And Industry: The Achievements Of Mind Among The Cottages"" is a book written by Edwin Paxton Hood in 1851. The book explores the concept of genius and how it can be found in unlikely places, such as among the working class in rural areas. Hood argues that genius is not limited to those born into privilege or with access to education, but can be found in individuals who use their natural talents and work hard to achieve their goals. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of genius, such as creativity, invention, and leadership. Hood provides examples of individuals who have achieved great things despite their humble beginnings, such as the inventor of the steam engine, James Watt, who grew up in poverty. Hood also discusses the importance of education and how it can help individuals develop their innate talents. He argues that education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their social status, and that it is the responsibility of society to provide opportunities for people to learn and grow.Overall, ""Genius And Industry: The Achievements Of Mind Among The Cottages"" is a thought-provoking book that challenges traditional notions of genius and highlights the importance of hard work and determination in achieving success.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
