This eBook was produced by Ryan Ramseyer "Ten Englishmen of the Nineteenth Century" by James Richard Joy is a historical account published in the early 20th century. The work focuses on prominent figures from the 19th century England, particularly those in public life, such as politicians and military leaders, delving into their contributions and significance in shaping modern British history. Joy aims to present these individuals through biographical sketches to illuminate the larger context of their times. At the start of the book, the preface outlines the author's intentions, emphasizing a biographical approach to English history during the 19th century. Joy discusses the rationale behind his selection of ten men, who represented notable political and military developments, and he notes the absence of artists and scholars, suggesting that their roles will be addressed in other works. The introduction sets the historical scene, detailing the key events of the early 19th century, including the struggle against Napoleon, the socio-political changes, and the emerging challenges faced by England.
