Chips From Many Blocks is a book written by Elihu Burritt and first published in 1878. The book is a collection of essays and speeches that Burritt gave throughout his life on various topics such as education, religion, politics, and social issues. Burritt was a self-educated man who became known as the ''Learned Blacksmith'' and was a prominent figure in the 19th-century peace movement. In this book, he shares his thoughts and ideas on a range of subjects, including the importance of education for all, the need for social and economic equality, and the benefits of international cooperation and peace. Burritt’s writing is characterized by his passion for justice and his belief in the power of education and social reform to create a better world. Chips From Many Blocks is a valuable historical document that offers insight into the social and political issues of the 19th century and the ideas of one of its most influential thinkers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
