Excerpt from Joseph Sturge: His Life and Work Considerable attention has deservedly been paid by recent historical research to the political movement known as Chartism; and to any student of that subject the name of Joseph Sturge will probably be familiar, owing to the conspicuous share which he had in its development, during one of the most critical years of the agitation. When adequate histories have been written of the movements for the abolition of negro slavery and the promotion of international peace, we are confident that some recognition will be given to the no less important part played by Sturge in these other fields of spiritual enterprise. It is not, how ever, to be expected that a historical treatise should give any adequate characterisation of the personalities of even the more important of the many actors in the drama, which it is attempting to unfold to its readers. The endeavour to draw a life-like picture of one strong and admirable person ality is my reason for writing the pages contained in the present volume.
