- W1972127614 abstract "IN I890, not many weeks before Christmas, William Booth, founder and first general of Salvation Army, brought out a three-hundred-page volume that created a sensation in England. Capitalizing on publicity attracted by Henry Stanley's recently published In Darkest Africa, or Quest, Rescue, and Retreat of Emin Pasha, Governor of Equatoria, he called his book In Darkest England, and Way Out. But general had little need to exploit a catchy title.1 Already for some years he had been one of most prominent and controversial figures in an England filled with such prominent and controversial figures as Gladstone, Parnell, Chamberlain, Newman, Huxley, Bradlaugh, and Mrs. Annie Besant; and any volume that bore his name was likely to have a wide sale. The subject of his book was also in his favor, for experience of Cobbett, Carlyle, Disraeli, Ruskin, Morris, George, Bellamy, and Fabians, among others, had proved that an audience existed for writers who dealt with problems of social change. The nineteenth century, of course, was rich in projects to reconstruct English society. Reformer after reformer, impressed by dislocations growing out of mechanization of industry, set forth his proposals to put things right. Undaunted by failures of his predecessors, each was convinced that, ultimately, his suggestions would be considered, adopted, and applied. Self-confidence and optimism kept him at his project: some day people would listen. But in all long history of social thought few of makers of reorganization plans were so well equipped with optimism and self-confidence as General Booth. For this there was a good reason. As general would have put it, he had not only truth, justice, and humanity but God on his side. In order to demonstrate need for his experiment in philanthropy, Booth devoted first part of his book to a review of life in the darkness. Dealing with submerged tenth of English population, he offered a graphic description of conditions among homeless, unemployed, vicious, criminals, and children of lost.
