In Darkest England and the Way Out. WITH THE ORIGINAL DONATION SLIP

With a copy of the original donation slip loosely inserted, and 6pp Salvation Army catalogue at end. William Booth founded the Salvation Army in 1878. In 1890, the same year that Stanley published \'In Darkest Africa\', he published his most important work with deliberate irony. Here he analyses the causes of the pauperism and vice of the period and proposes a remedy by ten expedients. These include land settlement, emigration, rescue work among prostitutes and at the prison-gate, the poor man\'s bank, and the poor man\'s lawyer. Booth\'s powerful arguments were convincing, money was liberally subscribed and a large part of the scheme was carried through. Printing and the Mind of Man, 560.
