Synopsis

The Great Sin of Great Cities is a book written by William Rathbone Greg that explores the social and moral issues of urbanization in the 19th century. The author argues that the rapid growth of cities has led to a decline in moral standards and a rise in crime, poverty, and social inequality. He examines the causes and effects of these problems, including the impact of industrialization, overcrowding, and the breakdown of traditional social structures.Greg also offers solutions to these issues, including the need for better urban planning, improved housing and sanitation, and the promotion of education and religious values. He argues that these measures can help to restore the moral health of cities and create a more just and equitable society.The Great Sin of Great Cities is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the challenges facing urban society in the 19th century. It remains a relevant and important work for anyone interested in the history of urbanization and the social and moral issues that continue to affect cities today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

There are some questions so painful and perplexing, that statesmen, moralists, and philanthropists shrink from them by common consent. The subject to which the following pages are devoted, is one of these. Of a Uthe social problems which philosophy has to deal with, this is, we believe, the darkest, the knottiest, and the saddest. From whatever point of view it is regarded, it presents considerations so difficult and so grievous, that in this country no ruler or writer has yet been found with nerve to face the sadness, or resolution to encounter the difficulties. Statesmen see the mighty evil lying on the main pathway of the world, and, with a groan of pity and despair, pass by on the other side. They act like the timid patient, who, fearing and feeling the existence of a terrible disease, dares not examine its symptoms or probe its depth, lest he should realise it too clearly, and possibly aggravate its intensity by the mere investigation. Or, like a more foolish animal still, they hide their head at the mention of the danger, as if they hoped, by ignoring, to annihilate it. It is from a strong conviction that this is not worthy behaviour on the part of those who aspire to guide either the actions or the opinions of others, that, after much hesitation and many misgivings, we have undertaken to speak of so dismal and delicate a matter. We are aware that mischief is risked by bringing the subject prominently before the public eye, and that the benefit to be derived from the discussion should be so clear and certain, as unquestionably to overbalance this risk. We are aware that it is a matter on which it is not easy to speak openly not always possible to speak with confidence as to facts, causes, or consequences; we are aware that we shall expose ourselves to much scof Bng from the vulgar and hght 1.
