Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Six Months Among the Charities of Europe, Vol. 1 In the autumn of 1862 I left my duties in Holland for a short tour in England. The forenoon after my arrival I found myself seated in the back parlour of Good Words Office in Ludgate Hill, talking with my friend, the publisher of this book. Our conversation happened to turn upon some recent doings in the field of Philanthropy, and I expressed my admiration of the largehearted sympathy which the British nation manifested for such labours, and of the interest it took not only in its own Charities, but in philanthropic efforts on the Continent as well. Indeed there is scarcely one of the great Mother-Establishments across the Channel which does not directly or indirectly owe its origin to the influence which the practical spirit of England has exercised upon the Protestant peoples of Europe. The Charities of Germany alone may be counted not by tens and scores, but by hundreds; and I believe that Englishmen may rightly look upon these valuable results as arising, to a considerable extent, from their own liberality and intelligent sympathy. No wonder, then, that accounts of what is being done for the poor on the Continent are received with so much interest in this country.
