Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thomas Hughes of England and His Visits to Chicago in 1870 and 1880
In the second place we love him because he threw the Whole weight of his immense popularity unreservedly in our favor in the great crisis of our Civil War; and thirdly, because, when our homes, our books and libraries were turned to ashes, his time, hiswork and his in?uence were immediately given to cheer and encourage us, to win for us the sympathy of the scholars and authors, the brains and the hearts of old England, to set a corner-stone for us in the realm of thought and literature.
The newspapers and magazines have been so full of notices of him that it is deemed unnecessary to do more than make a brief memorial of his life, with a more particular account of his visit to Chicago, and his sub sequent work ih our behalf.
