The book focuses on the state of education among the working classes of Leeds during the mid-19th century and provides suggestions on how it can be improved.Hole begins by describing the current state of education among the working classes, highlighting the lack of access to education and the poor quality of education that was available. He argues that this lack of education is a major obstacle to social progress and economic prosperity.The book then goes on to suggest various ways in which education can be improved, including the establishment of more schools, the provision of better-trained teachers, and the use of more modern teaching methods. Hole also argues for the importance of moral education, arguing that it is not enough to simply teach children how to read and write, but that they must also learn to be good citizens.Overall, ""Light, More Light!"" is a passionate call to action for the improvement of education among the working classes of Leeds. It provides a fascinating insight into the state of education during the mid-19th century and offers valuable lessons for those interested in education reform today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

""National Railways: An Argument For State Purchase"" is a book written by James Hole in 1895. The book presents an argument in favor of the state purchase of railways in the United Kingdom. Hole argues that the current system of private ownership of railways is inefficient and expensive, and that the state could provide better service at a lower cost. He also argues that state ownership would allow for greater regulation and control over the railways, ensuring that they serve the public interest rather than the interests of private shareholders. The book provides a detailed analysis of the current state of the railway system in the UK and outlines the benefits that would come from nationalization. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on debates about the role of the state in the economy in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

In this Essay, first published in 1853, the Victorian social activist James Hole offers an impassioned defence of the one of the central products of early Victorian social reformism, the mechanics' institutes. Aimed at improving the education of working-class men, women and youths, the institutes offered basic literacy training as well as higher-level lectures on science, the arts, and industry. This volume, originally a prize-winning essay, outlines Hole's plan for improving the efficacy of the institutes, which he saw as failing in their mission of enlivening the minds of those whose primary labours were physical. The institutes 'have established the right of the people to culture', Hole writes, but they had yet, in his view, to instil it. An important work in the history of education, Hole's Essay provides revealing insights into social reformism and the complexities of class politics within the movement.
