A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Thomas Barwick Llotb Baker died at Hardwicke Court, Gloncester, on December 10, 1886. In many directions his death left a void that can never be filled, for he was a many-sided man, who brought the influence of his cultured mind amd earnest zeal to bear on many subjects. A bove all things Mr. Barwick Baker was a man of dU igent thought; he sought out the principles that underlay the practical side of every question. A country squire of moderate wealth, he studied the duties incumbent upon him in that staticm of life; a county magistrate, he felt bound to inquire into tho causes of crime, and to use for the benefit of the community the experi enee gained on theB ench; a Poor-law guardian, he was drawn into personal sympathy with the poor, the outcast, and the destitute. Before the days of ironclads and steam-engines a thin worsted thread was laid up with the rope made inH er Majesty sdockyards; the colour, only discerned on close examination, marked the Queen sproperty: through all Mr. Barwick Baker swork there runs a golden thread, flashing ont unexpectedly here and there, which marks royal work, and tells of a motive never absent, a motive higher even than duty to a neighbour, or love to a fellow-man. Therefore it came to pass that whatever views he advanced were received with respect, as much by those who opposed as by those who supported them, for no taint of selfishness, either for himself or for his class, could be traced in any of them.
