GOUGH With Twenty-Six Years Experience As A Public Speaker Illustrated by George Cruikshank and Others 1870, First Edition - later Print, Bill Nichols & Co., Springfield, MA, 552 pages. From the Introduction, “It may be asked…why I thought it requisite to add one to the already numerous autobiographies extant? I answer, that justice to myself…demands an explicit statement of the principal incidents in an hitherto eventful life; those incidents, or at least many of them, having…been erroneously described.” Gough was a transatlantic temperance celebrity and one of the most popular itinerant lecturers of the Victorian era. Enhanced with 9 full-page illustrations by George Cruikshank and Others. Hardcover book in Very Good condition, tight and clean with no marks.
