Robert Raikes: The Man And His Work is a biography written by J. Henry Harris in 1899. The book tells the story of Robert Raikes, a prominent figure in the early Sunday School movement in England during the 18th century. Raikes was a journalist and social reformer who founded the Gloucester Sunday School in 1780, which aimed to provide education for children who were otherwise unable to attend school due to poverty and other social factors. The book chronicles Raikes' life, from his childhood to his work as a journalist and social reformer, and his founding of the Sunday School movement. It also explores the impact of Raikes' work on the education system in England, and how it paved the way for the development of public education. Harris provides a detailed account of Raikes' life and work, drawing on primary sources such as letters and diaries. The book also includes illustrations and photographs of Raikes and the Sunday School movement. Overall, Robert Raikes: The Man And His Work is a comprehensive and informative biography of a key figure in the history of education and social reform in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
