It has potential and has some potted biographies of some of the reformers in the back, a trail of crumbs to lead you elsewhere.

Not what I'm currently researching but could be useful another time (I'm trying to reduce the TBR from the Library pile and this one has been on the pile too long unread.)… (mer)
