Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Late Dr. Barnardo Nearly twenty years ago Dr. Barnardo wrote: - ´I wonder will the connected history of this work for Good ever be written! I am afraid not. It would almost be too large an effort for any one to attempt, for it would involve, among other tasks, the perusal of an immense correspondence received during the past twenty-one years from loving Christian friends of my waifs from all over the wide world. Sometimes I have thought that I would myself essay to record, in a connected narrative, my experience of God´s guidance and goodness during the past quarter of a century. But time, which, like the flowing tide, waits for no man, fails me.´ This volume is an attempt to write that connected narrative. Whenever it is possible Dr. Barnardo is allowed to speak for himself. Naturally the chief place is given to his public work, but at every point appears his attractive personality. The work commences with an Introduction by one of Dr. Barnardo´s oldest friends - Dr. Robertson Nicoll. His brother, Dr. F. A. E. Barnardo, is largely responsible for the first chapter, and Mr. William Baker, M.A., LL.B., the Honorary Director of the Homes, contributes a chapter on the ´Future of the Homes.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
