John Pearce, The Colporteur: Or What Shall We Read? is a book written by John Pearce and published in 1880. The book is a guide for readers who are looking for good literature to read. Pearce, who was a colporteur (a person who sells or distributes books), shares his recommendations for books that are both entertaining and morally uplifting. The book is divided into different sections, each of which focuses on a particular genre of literature. Pearce provides a brief summary of each book, along with his personal opinion and recommendations. He also includes a list of questions that readers can ask themselves when choosing a book to read, such as whether the book will improve their mind, whether it will be a good influence on their character, and whether it will be enjoyable to read. The Colporteur is not only a guide to good literature, but it also provides insights into the cultural and moral values of the time in which it was written. The book reflects the Victorian era’s emphasis on morality and the importance of reading for self-improvement. Overall, John Pearce, The Colporteur: Or What Shall We Read? is a valuable resource for anyone looking for good literature to read, as well as an interesting glimpse into the cultural and moral values of the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
