In 1874, the Anglican socialist and advocate of “muscular Christianity” looked at England and saw that “tens of thousands…lead sedentary and unwholesome lives, stooping, asphyxiated, employing as small a fraction of their bodies as their minds.” This book compiles his thoughts on improving the physical and spiritual health of the nation.
