Guilty, A Tribute To The Bottom Man: And A Plain Reply To Not Guilty, A Defense Of The Bottom Dog, By Mr. R. Blatchford (1907) is a book written by Frank Ballard. The book is a response to R. Blatchford’s book Not Guilty, which defends the ''bottom dog'' or the working class. Ballard’s book, on the other hand, pays tribute to the ''bottom man'' or the criminal and delinquent. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a tribute to the ''bottom man'' and argues that criminals and delinquents are not necessarily evil, but rather a product of their environment and circumstances. The second part is a response to Blatchford’s book, arguing that the working class is not as oppressed as Blatchford claims and that they are not the only victims of society. Overall, Guilty, A Tribute To The Bottom Man: And A Plain Reply To Not Guilty, A Defense Of The Bottom Dog, By Mr. R. Blatchford (1907) is a controversial book that challenges traditional views of criminality and the working class. It offers a unique perspective on the social issues of the time and is still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
