rk,
which tells the story of his career in a brief but interesting manner.
The book is elegantly printed on good paper, and is embellished with an
excellent portrait and with an engraving of Mr. Smith among the Gipsy
children."--_Capital and Labour_.

"This is 'a chapter' in philanthropy, yet it contains three times as much
in the way of practical philanthropy as would suffice to make any man a
benefactor to his generation. His devoted, self-denying, persistent, and
successful endeavours on behalf of the brick-yard children, the canal
population, and more recently the Gipsy 'arabs,' of our country and time,
are concisely and vividly set forth in this neat volume."--_The
Christian_.

"The name of George Smith, and his noble work amongst the canal-boat folk
and the Gipsies, have become familiar and welcome to multitudes in Great
Britain. This volume is an excellent sketch of Mr. Smith; it contains a
capital likeness, and should be read by all who desire to possess
increasing zeal in rescuing the perishing."--_Christian Age_.

"A smartly written biography of a man who may be justly termed the
Children's Friend. It is well got up, and contains an excellent portrait
of the great social reformer. It is well that this fascinating sketch
should be given to the world."--_Literary World_.

"In this book we are presented with a sketch of the life and
labours--labours which have been attended with a large measure of
success--of one of the most devoted of living
philanthropists."--_Scotsman_.

"A fine biography, which every one should read in order to understand the
noble character of a man who must be pronounced a great
benefactor."--_Free Press_.

"A little book called 'Our Canal Population,' lately published and
written by Mr. George Smith, of Coalville, furnishes the most incredible

"The notorious state of 'Our Canal Population,' the women and children
who live on barges, and in whose condition Mr. George Smith, of
Coalville, has awakened public interest, is described as 'revolting and
intolerable.' If only a part of the statements made were tr
