Canon Barnett V2: His Life, Work, And Friends (1919) is a comprehensive biography of Canon Samuel Barnett, written by his wife Henrietta Octavia Barnett. The book covers the life and career of Canon Barnett, who was a prominent social reformer and philanthropist in late 19th and early 20th century England. It traces his early years, education, and entry into the Church, as well as his work as a vicar in various parishes in London. The book also explores his contributions to the social reform movement, including his involvement in the establishment of Toynbee Hall, a settlement house in East London, and his advocacy for the improvement of housing and working conditions for the poor. In addition to Canon Barnett's life and work, the book also delves into his relationships with notable figures of the time, including William Morris, John Ruskin, and Octavia Hill. This second volume of the biography provides a detailed account of Canon Barnett's later years, including his work as a member of the London County Council and his involvement in the founding of the National Trust. Throughout the book, Henrietta Octavia Barnett provides a personal and intimate portrayal of her husband, drawing on her own experiences and observations to paint a vivid picture of this influential figure in English history.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
