Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the work of the London City Mission throughout the 19th century, giving an account of the social, religious, and cultural life of the poor and working-class communities of London in the Victorian era through the eyes of missionaries. It particularly focuses on the physical and spiritual destitution of the inhabitants of the Clerkenwell district. The book's account illuminates the extent of ignorance and brutality rife at the time, and the dangers faced by those trying to help alleviate societal problems. The author's close examination of the life of a missionary during this period draws out the themes of faith, charity, and redemption against the backdrop of an often-harsh and unforgiving urban landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

xvi, 295pp 19x12, blind stamped brown cloth, glt text on spine. Edges of cloth rather worn, edges roughly cut, paper browning, ex-lib with a few stamps, fair copy thus. Personal recollections of the author's six years in the Cow Cross district of Clerkenwell as a missionary; his observations on licentiousness, profligacy and deliquency are generally that the cause is a lack of religious education, perhaps unsurprisingly, but are interesting nonetheless.
