TEN YEARS IN A PORTSMOUTH SLUM.

By FATHER DOLLING.

Late Priest in Charge of St. Agatha's, Landport (Winchester College Mission).

With Portrait and Eighteen Full-page Illustrations.

Church Times.—"It is the record of a work very remarkable in all its aspects, written with all modesty; and we think that to not a few weary workers among the sinful and degraded it may bring fresh lessons of courage and hopefulness."

Guardian.—"Will be read with the greatest interest by all who desire to learn the secret of Mr. Dolling's wonderful success in a most difficult task."

Times.—"A vivid and breezy account, from Mr. Dolling's own unconventional pen, of the singularly successful work done by him in connexion with the Winchester College Mission, in the regeneration of the district of St. Agatha's, Landport."

Pall Mall Gazette—"Simply it is the record of ten years' stupendous work, performed by Mr. Dolling among the poor of the difficult district of Portsmouth known as Landport; and, moreover, it is a record most modestly—even pathetically modestly—presented; a record that is convincing in its bare truth, and in every line of it beyond expression interesting. He has given lay readers a picture of such work that they should, in all humility, most carefully study. It is not too much to say that the book is absorbingly full of incentives to thought; for every page reveals something wonderful in the way of resource, self-restraint, and accomplishment, and not only on Mr. Dolling's part, but on the part of those connected with him at St. Agatha's."
