''A Trophy, Won At The Ragged School'' is a biographical sketch of the late Frank Lyons, written by John Thornton and published in 1866. The book tells the story of Lyons, who was born into poverty and spent his childhood in the notorious ''ragged schools'' of Victorian England. Despite the many obstacles he faced, Lyons was determined to better himself and worked tirelessly to improve his education and social standing. He eventually became a successful businessman and philanthropist, and his life serves as an inspiration to others who may be struggling to overcome adversity. The book provides a detailed account of Lyons’ life, including his early struggles, his rise to success, and his many charitable endeavors. It is a fascinating portrait of a remarkable individual and a testament to the power of hard work and determination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
