THE LIFE OF 

 SIR SYDNEY WATERLOW, BART. 



By GEORGE SMALLEY, M.A.,

There have never been lacking in the City of London men of the 

 type which is associated in the popular mind with the name of 

 Richard Whittington, and the story of their early struggles and 

 gradual rise to wealth and distinction can never fail to appeal to the 

 imagination. Sir Sydney Waterlow was one of Whittington's most 

 eminent successors ; from small beginnings and slender resources he 

 created one of the greatest printing businesses in the whole country, 

 and in due course he arrived at the highest distinction which London 

 can bestow, the office of Lord Mayor. But his chief title to remem- 

 brance is his unequalled success as a practical philanthropist, and at 

 the present time this side of his strenuously active life is probably 

 the most interesting and valuable, more especially the story fully 

 told in these pages of his wise and far-reaching work in connection 

 with the housing of the poor. 



TEN GREAT AND GOOD MEN. 



Lectures by HENRY MONTAGU BUTLER, D.D., D.C.L., 



MASTER OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE.

These studies are not, in the ordinary sense of the word, bio- 

 graphical ; the object of the author was in each case to give his 

 audience, in broad outline and with as little as might be of historical 

 fact and detail, some understanding of the mind and soul of a great 

 figure by whom the destinies of the country had been moulded. 

 Thus, while he has illustrated his studies by characteristic examples 

 of the great public utterances in which the aspirations and ideals of 

 his heroes are formulated, he has also enlivened them by recording 

 those incidents which, trivial in themselves, reveal the personality of 

 the man behind the trappings of the statesman. For his purpose, 

 to take a single example, Pitt dominating the House of Commons 

 with his eloquence is scarcely more interesting than Pitt romping 

 with a roomful of children. The skilled and sympathetic employ- 

 ment of this method has resulted in a singularly charming gallery of 

 portraits.
