Dr. S. G. Howe: The Philanthropist

""Dr. S. G. Howe: The Philanthropist"" is a biography written by Franklin B. Sanborn. The book tells the story of Samuel Gridley Howe, a physician and social reformer who dedicated his life to helping the less fortunate. Howe was a key figure in the anti-slavery movement, and he played a leading role in the education of the blind and the deaf. The book chronicles Howe's early life, his work in Greece during the Greek War of Independence, and his later work in the United States. It also explores his personal life, including his marriage to Julia Ward Howe, the author of ""The Battle Hymn of the Republic."" Throughout the book, Sanborn portrays Howe as a man of great compassion and determination, who used his position of privilege to make a difference in the lives of others. The book is a tribute to Howe's legacy, and a reminder of the power of philanthropy to change the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
