THE PINCH OF POVERTY 



Sufferings and Heroism of tJie London Poor 

 Bv "THE RIVERSIDE VISITOR" 



" This book is not obtrusively didactic. Few or none would suspect that they are being 



jht, but at the close of every chapter there lingers in the mind some mighty lesson No 



person can read a single page 

 without being touched to finer 

 issues. There is much that is very 

 beautiful, much that is very 

 pathetic, but more that must stir 

 every right-minded man or woman 

 to good works and to prayer." 



Revicio of the Churches. 



" We offer a hearty welcome 



to this book It is the work 



of one whose experience has been 

 long, and knowledge intimate 

 and whose eye is as keen as his 

 heart is kind. It should correct 

 some current misapprehensions, 

 and provoke many a reader to 

 good works It is interest- 

 ing from the first page to the 

 last." — Record. 



' No attempt is made to deepen 

 llie shadows in these pictures of 

 real life, and we are not less glad 

 to find that a book so wholesome 

 and manly, is not weakened by 

 the intrusion of sickly sentiment 

 or highly-coloured rhetoric." 



The Speaker. 



" The Riverside Visitor has the 

 rare faculty of a real sympathy ; 

 he enters into the trials and 

 troubles of the poor as though he 

 were one of them, and gives us a 

 very living and true picture of the 

 struggling multitudes, in whose 

 well-being he is so keenly inter- 

 - csted." — Modem Church.
