Robert Raikes: And His Scholar is a historical biography written by Mrs. H. B. Paull and published in 1880. The book tells the story of Robert Raikes, a British philanthropist and publisher who is credited with founding the Sunday School movement in the late 18th century. The book explores Raikes' life and work, including his efforts to improve the education and moral character of poor children in Gloucester, England. The title And His Scholar refers to a young boy named William King, who was one of Raikes' first Sunday School pupils and who went on to become a successful businessman and philanthropist himself. The book provides a detailed account of Raikes' life and legacy, as well as a broader history of the Sunday School movement and its impact on education and social reform in Britain and beyond. Through the story of Raikes and his scholar, the book offers insights into the challenges and opportunities of social reform in the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as the enduring power of education to transform lives and communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
