Author Note

The author (1844-1913) was the founder with his wife Henrietta of Toynbee Hall in the East End of London where people from higher classes lived in one of the poorest areas of the city, and were responsible for the development of Hampshire Garden Suburb. Toynbee Hall still exists in Tower Hamlets, still among the poorest areas of London, but without the same intent.
