The Citizen Reader

Description

Originally written for schools in the late 19th century, H. O. Arnold-Forster’s The Citizen Reader remains a timeless guide to the principles of responsible citizenship. With clear, engaging language, Arnold-Forster demystifies the workings of government and encourages readers to recognize their essential role in a free society.

Through vivid examples and thoughtful lessons, he teaches the importance of civic participation, respect for the law, critical thinking, and the virtues of patriotism and public service. Although rooted in the British context of its time, the book’s core values — integrity, responsibility, and community — resonate across generations and nations.

This edition offers readers more than a historical glimpse into past ideals; it serves as a living reminder of the duties that come with the rights of citizenship. Perfect for students, educators, and anyone seeking to better understand the foundations of civil society, The Citizen Reader inspires a deeper commitment to community, justice, and democratic life.
