About This Item

London: Macmillan & Company, 1891. First edition. Paper wrappers. Removed from a larger volume, lacking rear wrapper, front wrapper detached with some minor chips to top edge and joint, otherwise contents very good.. 128 pp. 12mo. A second edition was published the same year. Criticises William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, whose book 'In Darkest England and the Way Out' became a best seller. Huxley felt Booth's schemes were too socialistic. "Mr. Booth's system appears to me, and,- as I have shown, is regarded by Socialists themselves, to be mere autocratic Socialism, masked by its theological exterior...The most degrading feature of the narrower forms of Christianity (of which that professed by Mr. Booth is a notable example) is their insistance that the noblest virtues, if displayed by those who reject their pitiable formula, are, as their pet phrase goes, "splendid sins."
