The Workingman's Way In The World is an autobiography written by Charles Manby Smith, a journeyman printer, and published in 1854. The book is a firsthand account of Smith's experiences as a working-class individual in 19th century England. Smith's story begins with his childhood in a poor family and his early experiences in the printing trade. He describes his struggles to gain an education and improve his prospects, including his decision to emigrate to America at the age of 20. Upon returning to England, Smith continues to work as a printer and eventually becomes a successful journalist and editor. He shares his insights on the challenges faced by working-class individuals in Victorian society, including poverty, lack of education, and limited opportunities for advancement. Throughout the book, Smith emphasizes the importance of hard work, self-improvement, and perseverance. He also offers advice to other working-class individuals on how to succeed in their own careers and improve their lives. Overall, The Workingman's Way In The World is a compelling and inspiring account of one man's journey from humble beginnings to success in the face of adversity. It offers a valuable perspective on the social and economic conditions of 19th century England and the challenges faced by working-class individuals striving to improve their lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
