“‘The Cry of the Children’ and ‘Our Canal Population’ are unique in many ways. They have brought prominently before public attention two unsuspected blots upon our civilisation. We wish any word of our’s could give still wider publicity to his self-denying labours.”—_Live Stock Journal_. “Mr. Smith writes with vehement energy, which he puts into everything he does. Some will perhaps think that his language is occasionally too little measured, but then it is probable that a man of more delicacy of feeling and expression would have never undertaken, and we think it is certain that he would never have carried through, the work which Mr. George Smith has accomplished. That work is of no small value.”—_Staffordshire Sentinel_. “A good deal of new matter is inserted in this edition, including an interesting account of the history and progress of the movement. . . . The volume is certainly worthy of a careful perusal.”—_Birmingham Gazette_. “In it is written the author’s account of his single-handed struggle for the emancipation of the poor children of the brick-yards—a struggle long and patiently sustained, and which at last, in 1872, met with its past merited reward in freeing 10,000 of these little ones from their dark slavery.”—_The Graphic_. “This is a deeply interesting book, both from the facts which it sets forth and the cause it advocates.”—_Christian Age_. “Every true philanthropist will read with deep interest Mr. Smith’s account of the history and the passing of the Act, which marks one of the brightest victories yet won over prejudice and self-interest in the United Kingdom.”—_Derby Mercury_. “This excellently got-up work will strike a cord of sympathy in the bosoms of all who are interested in the works of Christianity and philanthropy. . . . Should find a place upon every book-shelf because its contents are of thrilling interest. . . . The book is essentially a statement of facts, and no one can peruse its pages without feeling the impulse of the living spirit which breathes in this ‘Cry of the Children.’”—_Potteries Examiner_. “Mr. George Smith has, in his ‘Cry of the Children from the Brick-yards of England,’ raised issues too serious, and advanced pleas too passionate, to be treated with indifference.”—_Daily Telegraph_. “In the present volume, which contains a number of excellent woodcuts, we have gathered up the full story of the evils which used to prevail, which in the hands of a person of less moral courage and perseverance than Mr. Smith would have failed.”—_Leicester Daily Post_. * * * * * _Crown_ 8_vo_, 216 _pages_. _Price_, _paper covers_, 1_s._; _post free_, 1_s._ 2_d._ _Cloth binding_, _with Portrait_, 2_s._, _post free_.
