Henry Solly (1813 1903) was a British Unitarian minister and social
reformer who supported universal suffrage, the abolition of slavery
and free education. He is remembered today for his contribution to
the development of the working-class movement in late Victorian
Britain, and especially for being involved in the foundation of
institutions such as Working Men's Clubs, the Charity Organization
Society and the Garden City movement. First published in 1893, this
two-volume autobiography combines the account of Solly's personal
life as a Unitarian minister and father of five with the various
social, religious and educational movements he was involved with
during his career as an activist. Volume 1 focuses on Solly's
childhood and school days, and provides fascinating insight into
Solly's early intellectual and political development, first as a
student of University College London, then as a minister at the
Unitarian Chapel at Yeovil, Somerset.

which would benefit the working classes in the nineteenth century.
Social reformer, Chartist sympathiser, advocate of universal
suffrage, and opponent of slavery, Henry Solly (1813 1903) was a
man driven by the desire to stamp out inequality. As part of his
mission to improve the lives of working-class people, he founded
the Working Men's Club and Institute Union, becoming its first paid
secretary in 1863. The Union encouraged the formation of social and
educational clubs where working men could 'meet for conversation,
business, and mental improvement, with the means of recreation and
refreshment, free from intoxicating drinks'. His tireless
campaigning led directly to the formation of the Charity
Organization Society, which advocated the principle of aiding those
prepared to help themselves. Published in 1867, this is Solly's
vigorous manifesto for social reform based around temperance and
the formation of social clubs and educational institutes for
working men.
