A strange Christian view and obsession with occultism in 1875 London. Of all the protean forms of misery that meet us in the bosom of that "stony-hearted stepmother, London," there is none that appeals so directly to our sympathies as the spectacle of a destitute child.

If I could hope that all opinion of my book would be uttered only by those who had thus put it to the test, I should be well assured as to its future.
