Édition originale. Par le fondateur de l’Armée du Salut. « [Booth] analysed the causes of pauperism and vice of he period, and proposed a remedy by ten expedients. These included land settlement, emigration, rescue work among prostitutes and at the prison-gate, the poor man’s bank, and the poor man’s lawyer. Money was liberally subscribed and a large part of the scheme was carried through » (P.M.M., 373). « His book In Darkest England And The Way Out not only caused a sensation after its 1890 release, but it set the foundation for modern social welfare schemes ». Provenance « J. Herbert Lewis » avec cachet sur la première garde.
