About This Item
The binding is original as are the yellow endpapers and the most attractive folding colour chart. The book was a significant piece of propaganda to propose social reform allied to ethics in the war against poverty in England. The Sally Army had a major effect on the reforms that were introduced in the early 20th Century under the Liberal administration such as pensions. The book also gave significant support the the growth of charities that looked after the poor and destitute.
This copy is square and tight, with edge wear at the tips. The last two pages of adverts for the Army's publications are loose. No inscriptions except in pencil and an attractive bookplate and in print on the front free end parer - "For the pps of "The Cross". ".
