Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Attractive folding color frontispiece. (17), 10-285 pages, xxxi + ads. Tall 8vo, black cloth, rubbed at spine ends. London: Salvation Army, [no date, 1890]. First edition. A very good copy with contemporary gift inscription dated 1891. First Edition of the key book of the Salvation Army movement. A "classic in the literature of poverty" --ODNB. Written by the noted reformer W.T. Stead, from elaborate notes by the Army's founder. His proposals helped to bring about a great many social reforms. -- Printing and the Mind of Man 373.Contains a fantastic 1890 allegorical map or chart depicting the impact of the Salvation Army's proposed "Scheme of Social Selection and Salvation" to redress the social evils afflicting England. This chart appeared in the William Booth's 1890 book "In Darkest England and the Way Out", and as stated in the key at the bottom, was "ntended to give a birdseye-view of the scheme described in the book," which promises "Work for All." According to his scheme, the solution to lift Britain's poor out of starvation, poverty, vice and crime was emigration to the colonies. Featuring a doorway, the chart draws the viewer into a scene of Booth's imagined new Utopia. In the foreground is the stormy sea with a shipwreck and the Salvation Army lighthouse. Survivors are being rescued from the sea of starvation, beggary, misery, and other vices by the Salvation Army and guided to the "City Colony" and the various refugees and workshops. Beyond that we see the "Farm Colony" where those few who, having proved them worthy, are allowed to proceed. For those who find success in the Farm Colony we see steamers ferrying people across existing colonies of the British and other Empires, or to a "Colony Across the Sea" yet to be established. The two pillars of the doorway includes a statistical critique of the extent of misery and ruin in Great Britain, and includes the number of prostitutes, prison populations, suicides, levels of destitution, homelessness, and other miseries. The chart is in good condition. Minor wear and verso restoration along original foldlines. William Booth ( 1829-1912) was a British Methodist preacher and writer, who along with his wife Catherine Booth, founded the Salvation Army in 1865 to preach salvation from sins and promote purity of live among the poor and destitute of London. The Salvation Army aimed to continue the tradition of socially committed evangelism and utilized a quasi-military structure and Booth became it's first General in 1878. He held the position until his death. In 1890, Booth published "In Darkest England and the Way Out", which became a bestseller and set the foundation for the Salvation Army's modern social welfare approach. This chart was issued as part of that book. PJ Mode collection: 1104.01.…
