Zusatztext

George Griffith's *Going to Markets and Grammar Schools* (Vol. 2) is a lively, autobiographical patchwork drawn from forty years in England's Midlands between 1830 and 1870. Through vivid sketches and personal recollections, he moves between everyday journeys to market towns and the formative world of grammar schools, where education, ambition, and social expectation shape lives as surely as geography does. The book captures the texture of daily lifework, local customs, community character, and the practical realities behind respectabilitywhile also reflecting on how the author's own experiences connect to broader changes in society. Going to Markets and Grammar Schools - being a series of autobiographical records and sketches of forty years spent in the Midland counties from 1830 to 1870 - Vol. 2 is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1870.
