‘…’As We Are and As We May Be’ (by Sir Walter Besant) is the exposition of a practical philanthropist’s creed, and of his hopes for the progress of his fellow-countrymen. Some of these hopes may never be realised; some he had the great happiness to see bear fruit. And for the realisation of all he spared no pains. The personal service of humanity, that in these pages he urges repeatedly on others, he was himself ever the first to give.’ (Book
