`Self-Help; with Illustrations of Character and Conduct is a book published in 1859 by Samuel Smiles. The second edition of 1866 added Perseverance to the subtitle. It has been called `the bible of mid-Victorian liberalism`. Darwin biographe Janet Browne called it `the bible of the improving middle classes,` and said that it `highlighted the belief in entrepreneurial improvement sweeping into every arena of mid-century existence`.

Smiles was not very successful in his careers as a doctor and journalist. He joined several cooperative ventures, but they failed for lack of capital. Disillusioned, he turned away from middle-class utopianism, and finally found intellectual refuge and national fame in the isolation of self-help. He extolled the virtues of self-help, industry, and perseverance. However, he rejected the application of laissez-faire to critical areas such as public health and education. According to historian Asa Briggs `Self-help was one of the favorite mid-Victorian virtues. Relying on yourself was preferred morally—and economically—to depending on others. It was an expression of character even when it did not endure ... The progressive development of society ultimately depended, it was argued, not on collective action or on parliamentary legislation but on the prevalence of practices of self-help.`

Smiles built his argument using three concepts from the 18th-century Enlightenment. The concept of environmental determinism gave rise to the `passive` component in his thought. That allowed him to argue for the removal, by government intervention, of major hindrances that prevented the full development of the individual. A second theme was that a person`s intellectual faculty matured last. That led him to emphasize the `active` role, stressing self-education and self-help. Finally he assumed there existed a beneficent natural order.`
