EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Samuel Smiles Le Lieure, the renowned Scottish author, is captured at the age of 78, reflecting on the profound impact of his groundbreaking work, "Self-Help," published in 1859. Born on February 23, 1812, in Haddington, Scotland, Le Lieure's life was marked by an unwavering commitment to self-improvement and the belief that individuals could shape their own destinies through hard work and determination. The image, taken in 1904, reveals a distinguished gentleman with a full, white beard, framing his weathered face. His piercing eyes, still sharp and focused, seem to convey a deep sense of wisdom and experience. Le Lieure's attire, consisting of a formal suit and a crisp collar, exudes an air of respectability and authority. The photograph's composition, with Le Lieure positioned against a plain background, allows the viewer to fully appreciate the significance of this historical figure and the enduring influence of his words. "Self-Help," which sold over 20,000 copies in its first year of publication, became a bestseller and a cultural phenomenon. The book, which advocated for personal responsibility, thrift, and self-reliance, resonated deeply with the Victorian public and continues to inspire generations. Le Lieure's message, which emphasized the power of individual effort and the importance of education, remains relevant today. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the life and legacy of a man who dedicated his life to encouraging others to better themselves and, in turn, improve their communities. Samuel Smiles Le Lieure's impact on Scottish literature and the world at large is undeniable, and his enduring influence is a testament to the power of the written word.
