Charles Shaw was born in Tunstall, Staffordshire in 1832. When I Was A Child is an autobiographical account of his early life working in the pottery industry-first, at the age of seven, as a mould-runner, and later as a handle maker. He describes many incidents in his life, including a brief spell in the workhouse, a rare outing to Trentham, the Pottery Riots of 1842, and how he eventually became a local preacher. The book is a moving, first-hand record of social conditions and child labour in the pottery industry, and provides a fascinating insight into the social history of The Potteries.Shaw's work originally appeared in 1893 as a series of anonymous articles in the Staffordshire Sentinel and, in 1903, it was published as a book under the title An Old Potter. 110 years later, this re-issued edition brings his recollections to a new, twenty-first century audience, revealing what life was really like for the working classes in the 1840s.

Wallace D Wattles (1860-1911) believed that there is a Science of Getting Rich. It is an exact science, he said, like algebra or arithmetic. He explained that there are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring wealth - and once you learn and obey those laws, you will get rich with mathematical certainty.The Science of Getting Rich will show you how to use creative visualisation to achieve your goals and - by impressing your thoughts on the 'original substance' of the universe - make your desires a reality.Do not wait for an opportunity to be all that you want to be, said Wallace. When an opportunity to be more than you are now is presented and you feel impelled toward it, take it. It will be the first step toward a greater opportunity.
