Great movements, and those who achieved them
A collection of biographical sketches of reformers and inventors — Wilberforce, Stephenson, Cooper and others — written by Henry James Nicoll and issued by Harper & Brothers in New York in 1882 for general readers. Wood-engraved bust portraits in fine cross-hatching are paired with narrow horizontal headpieces of foliage, berries and pond plants suited to rules, dividers and small header ornaments.
