Eutopia. London is transformed, and the Thames is clean and a center of activity. More simple life stressing families and neighborhoods then districts or towns, countries, continents, and the world. The author was born in India but was raised in England. During a successful military career (he is called Captain in the Introduction), he read Tolstoy and immediately resigned his commission. He was instrumental in arranging the immigration of the Doukhobors from Russia, first to Cyprus, which was too hot, and then to Canada. He was one of the founders of the Penal Reform League.
