8vo, pp. x, 346; with frontispiece photograph, and eight full page photographs on four leaves; lightly browned throughout; ex-libris from Southport and Crosby Reference library (deaccession), with their stamp along edges; in the original blue publisher's cloth, with new endpapers, retaining the original dust-jacket, with remains of old label at tail of spine, and some sellotape residue remaining on inside jacket; overall a good copy. First edition of this detailed historical survey, highlighting the establishment and rapid growth of numerous early 19th century educational societies in the industrial heart-lands of the north of England, focused upon the instruction of working men 'in the scientific principles upon which the industrial arts' (preface). 'The choice of date 1851 to end the present survey has appeared to be justified. It allows for an attempt to tell the story of mechanics' institutes during the formative years and the period of pioneer activity; and to assess the position held by them when, after the Great Exhibition, the country stood on the threshold of a new effort to further general and technical education, and voluntary effort was about to be superseded, gradually, by government action' (preface). Mabel Tylecote (1896-1987) was a noted Manchester born Labour Party politician, activist, humanitarian, and educationalist. She served as a Manchester City Councillor, and stood as a Labour Parliamentary candidate on several occasions, and she was made a Dame of the British Empire in 1966. Seller Inventory # 4358
