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.

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.
