Recent Notes
Another formerly famous book rescued from the ghetto of hard to read archive dot org PDFs: Winwood Reade's "Martyrdom of Man", 1910 edition with an introduction. It's made to the specs of the standardebooks.org books, but was not created by them or is in any other way related to the project.
From Wikipedia:
The Martyrdom of Man (1872)—- whose summary line reads "From Nebula to Nation"—- is a secular, "universal" history of the Western world. Structurally, it is divided into four "chapters" of approximately 150 pages each: the first chapter, "War", discusses the imprisonment of men's bodies, the second, "Religion", that of their minds, the third, "Liberty", is the closest to a conventional European political and intellectual history, and the fourth, "Intellect", discusses the cosmogony characteristic of a "universal history".
[...]
The book slowly became popular despite negative reviews in the press, and by 1910 eighteen editions had been published.[5] V. S. Pritchett lauded The Martyrdom of Man as "the one, the outstanding, dramatic, imaginative historical picture of life, to be inspired by Victorian science".[11] Since The Martyrdom of Man had, by Victorian standards, a relatively sympathetic account of African history, it was approvingly cited by W. E. B. Du Bois in his books The Negro (1915) and The World and Africa (1947).[13]
Cecil Rhodes, an English-born South African politician and businessman, said that the book "made me what I am".
