Quintin Hogg: A Biography is a book written by Ethel M. Hogg that provides a comprehensive account of the life of Quintin Hogg, a prominent British philanthropist, politician, and educational reformer. The book covers Hogg's life from his birth in 1845 to his death in 1903, tracing his upbringing, education, and career trajectory. Hogg was born into a wealthy family and received a private education before attending Oxford University. He went on to become a successful businessman and politician, serving as a member of parliament and holding various government positions. However, he is perhaps best known for his philanthropic work, particularly in the field of education. The book explores Hogg's efforts to improve education in England, including his establishment of the Regent Street Polytechnic and the creation of the London County Council School of Engineering and Navigation. It also delves into his involvement in various social and political causes, such as the temperance movement and the campaign for women's suffrage. Through extensive research and access to Hogg's personal papers and correspondence, Ethel M. Hogg provides a detailed and engaging portrait of a man who played a significant role in shaping British society in the late 19th century. The book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of education and social reform in Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
