Excerpt from The Nanking Monument of the Beatitudes
John Howard, the Philanthropist, compares himself to the plodder who goes about to collect materials for men of genius to make use of.
If, in a very small measure, the preparation of the following pages has enabled me to share in these experiences, I can only say that it has been delectable drudgery and pleasant plodding, while, with a keen sense of their imperfections, I have requested the binder to supplement them with some blank leaves, in the hope that men of genius will not be failing to amplify and, if needful, to revise their deductions. I should thankfully receive such comments, if communicated.
