As We Are and As We May Be Walter Besant

As We Are and As We, May Be' 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 realized; some he had the great happiness to see bear fruit. And for the realization 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.
