Robert Raikes: And His Scholar (1880) is a biographical book written by Mrs. H. B. Paull. The book tells the story of Robert Raikes, a philanthropist and social reformer who is best known for his pioneering work in establishing Sunday schools in England during the 18th century. The book explores Raikes' life and work, including his efforts to provide education to poor and working-class children, his advocacy for prison reform, and his involvement in various charitable organizations. The book also focuses on Raikes' relationship with one of his most famous students, a young boy named William Fox, who went on to become a prominent religious leader in his own right. Through the story of Raikes and Fox, the book offers a glimpse into the social and cultural context of 18th-century England, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced by those who sought to improve the lives of the poor and marginalized. Overall, Robert Raikes: And His Scholar is a fascinating and inspiring read for anyone interested in the history of social reform, education, and philanthropy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
