New from Rowman & Littlefield: The Life of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton: Extraordinary Perseverance by David Bruce.
About the book, from the publisher:
The Life of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton: Extraordinary Perseverance is the biography of one of Great Britain’s most prominent social reformer. Best remembered for his role as a successful brewer, an abolitionist, and for his role in ending of British slavery in 1834, Buxton also championed a number of social causes that included ending the Hindu suttee practice, advocating penal reform, promoting Catholic Emancipation, and championing the empowerment of Africa, among others. For nearly a century after his death, Buxton was well-known as an example of a strong, moral, and principled reformer, and was regularly put forth to children throughout the West as an example worth emulating.Visit the Extraordinary Perseverance website.
