George Stephenson (1781 - 1848) was a civil and mechanical engineer who, through his work constructing the first intercity railway line between Manchester and Liverpool and (along with his son Robert) designing the locomotive "Rocket" that was to win the Rainhill Trials, became known as the "Father of Railways" Born in Northumberland he was illiterate until the age of 18, but realising the value of education he used his wages as an engineman at a local colliery to fund his studies at night school.

Samuel Smiles (1812-1904) war ein schottischer Moralschriftsteller. Er war ursprünglich Mediziner, gab aber dann die Praxis auf, um die Redaktion der Leeds Times zu übernehmen. Einige seiner Schriften erlangten große Verbreitung. Aus dem Buch: "Man hat das Glück oft »blind« genannt; aber seine Blindheit ist minder groß als die der Menschen. Wer sich im praktischen Leben umschaut, der wird finden, daß das Glück gewöhnlich auf Seiten des Fleißigen steht - wie Wellen und Wind sich auf die Seite der besten Seeleute stellen. Auch auf den edelsten Gebieten menschlichen Strebens erweisen sich die einfacheren Tugenden - Verständigkeit, Aufmerksamkeit, Fleiß und Beharrlichkeit - von höchstem Nutzen." Inhalt: . Nationale und individuelle Selbsthilfe . Führer auf dem Gebiet der Industrie - Erfinder und Produzenten . Drei große Töpfer: Palissy, Böttger, Wedgwood . Fleiß und Beharrlichkeit . Hilfsmittel und Gelegenheiten - wissenschaftliche Bestrebungen . Arbeiter auf dem Gebiet der Kunst . Fleiß und Adelsverleihung . Energie und Mut . Geschäftsleute . Das Geld - sein guter und schlechter Gebrauch . Die Selbsterziehung - günstige und ungünstige Lebensumstände . Beispiele und Muster . Der Charakter - Der wahrhaft »vornehme Mann
