This book, published in 1877, describes both the 'utterly Godless
condition of the vast majority of the English nation' and the
activities of William Booth (not yet famous as the founder of the
Salvation Army, first named in 1878) at the Whitechapel Christian
Mission, where he had been working since 1865. It is not clear
whether Booth (1829-1912) actually wrote this book: the preface is
signed by 'Geo. R.', and Booth is referred to in the third person,
but it is conventionally ascribed to him and certainly echoes his
own beliefs. (Booth's more famous 1890 work, In Darkest England and
the Way Out (also reissued in this series) was ghostwritten by
journalist W.T. Stead.) Using anecdotes from Whitechapel, the book
claims that the British urban working classes are in more urgent
need of Christian help and education, on the model provided by
Booth, than any so-called pagan society overseas.
